This is right out of Alice in Wonderland.

[G.Mason]

From Alice in Wonderland .......

" At this moment the King, who had been for some time busily writing in his note-book, called out "Silence!" and read out from his book, "Rule Forty-two.

All persons more than a mile high to leave the court."

Everybody looked at Alice.

"I'm not a mile high," said Alice.
"You are," said the King.

"Nearly two miles high," added the Queen.

"Well, I shan't go, at any rate," said Alice; "besides, that's not a regular rule: you invented it just now."

"It's the oldest rule in the book," said the King.

"Then it ought to be Number One," said Alice."
