"Defamation of character" joke

A man was sued by a woman for defamation of character. She charged that he had called her a pig. The man was found guilty and fined. After the trial he asked the judge, Does this mean that I cannot call Mrs. Johnson a pig?" The judge said that was true." Does this mean I cannot call a pig,' Mrs. Johnson'?" the man asked. The judge replied that he could indeed call a pig' Mrs. Johnson' with no fear of legal action. The man looked directly at Mrs. Johnson and said..."Good afternoon, Mrs. Johnson!"
