I enjoyed that one too, though I'd seen an earlier version.

A miner from a Yorkshire coal town put in a late claim for
compensation for an injury.

Judge: Your client is no doubt aware that /Vigilantibus, et
not dormientibus, jura subveniunt/?

Lawyer: In Barnsley, m'lud, they speak of little else.


[I think the Latin means "The laws support the wakeful and
not the sleeping."  Or something else equivalent to "You
snooze, you lose."]
