Via Volokh Conspiracy comes the following humorous snippet from the bad boys of the 9th Circuit, which is their take on their reversal rate by the Supremes:

Judge Noonan: "Typical numbers are 20 out of the 16 thousand cases that come before this court. Who is worrying? It's like being struck by lightning."  

Judge Thomas: "Well, in that case I've been struck by lightning a time or two."  

Judge Thomas: "It's largely a media myth. But you just take the reputation, like Dennis Rodman."  

Judge Bybee: "We're the Dennis Rodman???"  

Judge Thomas: "Yeah, we're like the bad boys of the federal circuit."
