"Your Honor," said lawyer Cox, "I objected because my distinguished colleague was badger-ing the witness. It's obvious he's never heard of the Bill of Rights."

Cox cocked a disbelieving brow. "Do you, now? Well, Updike, I have a hundred dollars! that says you can't even tell me the first iew words."

"Damn," Cox interrupted, fishing the money from his pocket, "I didn't think you'd know it."

to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So

The first one came back and said to the king, I brought ten
apples. The king then explained the trial to him. You have to
shove the fruits up your butt without any expression on your
face or youll be eaten.

king explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this
should be easy. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the

A defendant was on trial for murder. There was very strong evidence indicating guilt, but no corpse had been found. In the defense's closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be convicted, decided to try a trick. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all," the lawyer said as he looked at his watch. "Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom!" He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked, eagerly. A minute passed. Nothing happened. Finally, the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up the previous statement.
