You know.. there's more truth in that statement than you know
If you ever get a chance, go sit in on a VPO docket sometime. (that's restraining order docket, or whatever you call it where you're at)
Some of the best stories judges will ever tell you come out of their experiences with those VPO dockets.
Here's a great one (and I have no idea if I can tell it as well as the judge in question did..)
Two individuals represented by counsel appeared one morning on the VPO docket -- a man and a woman, boyfriend and girlfriend. The man was obviously a bodybuilder. He was huge. The woman was as well.. they were both gym rats. The man in this case was the Plaintiff.
The court asks, "Sir, do you have a legitimate reason to be afraid of this woman?"
Man replies, "Yes, she stabbed me during a fight."
The court: [to woman] "Is this true?"
Woman: "Yes your honor."
Woman's attorney: "Your honor, I have something to add. The plaintiff here has shown since the altercation that he does not actually fear my client. Since the stabbing incident, they have had intercourse."
The court [to man]: "Is this true? If so, how long ago was it that this occurred?"
Man: [Looks at his watch]...silence...
