“Judge, I want to contest 50% of my parking tickets” (joke)

A traffic court joke was posted on Twitter by Terry F on May 3, 2016:
   
[traffic court]
Your honor, I’m here to dispute 4 of my 5 tickets
JUDGE: Repeat infractions?
Ok, I’m here to dispute ⁴/₅ of my tickets

   
“Repeat infractions?” asked by the judge meant if many of the tickets were repeats of the same offense. “Repeat infractions,” however, was interpreted as “repeat in fractions.”
   
The joke usually involves percentages. “Judge, 60% of my parking tickets are bogus!!” was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on June 19, 2018. “Judge, I want to contest 50% of my parking tickets” was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on March 24, 2020. “Judge, I want to contest 80% of my parking tickets” was posted on Reddit—Jokes on March 3, 2021.
