Yes - a firm favourite of the 1950s when radio drama and comedy was strong.
Quoting Wikipedia (and Stan Freberg of course!)
" St George finds the dragon and charges him with a 502 (Devouring
Maidens Out of Season) and the dragon over-dramatically bellows his
defiance to the charge.
St. George also charges him with a 412 (Overacting) and takes him
into custody.
The dragon's fire is "put out", its "maiden-devouring license" is
revoked, and it is sentenced to a prison term.
The narrator concludes by saying, "Maiden devouring out of season is
punishable by a term of not less than 50, or more than 300 years."
