"A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried..." joke

A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defense:?My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb.??Well put,? the judge replied.? Using your logic, I sentence the defendant`s arm to oneyear`s imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses.?The defendant smiled. With his lawyer`s assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.
