"Clever Lawyer" joke

A lawyer defending a manaccused of burglary tried this creative defense:
“My client merelyinserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is nothimself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offensecommitted by his limb. ”
“Well put, ” thejudge replied. “Using your logic, I sentence the defendant’s arm to one year’simprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses. ”
The defendant smiled. And, with his lawyer’sassistance, he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench and walked out.
