~Creative Lawyer~ (Plus: today in history, word for the day, today’s horoscope, Maxine and They Ask Why I like Retirement!!!)

A lawyer defending a man in New York 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 offence committed by his limb."

"Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to 5 year'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.

Moral of this story: Don't mess with Lawyers....manipulation is their game!

From Phyllis and Chet in Pasadena CA  

“SERENITY”

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked,

'How old was your husband?' '98,' she replied.

'Two years older than me'

'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented.

She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?

 

Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman:

'And what do you think is the best thing
about being 104?' the reporter asked.
She simply replied, 'No peer pressure.'
