At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness. "Isn't it true," he bellowed, "that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?"
The witness stared out the window as though he hadn't hear the question."Isn't it true that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?" the lawyer repeated.
The witness still did not respond.
Finally, the judge leaned over and said, "Sir, please answer the question."
"Oh," the startled witness said, "I thought he was talking to you."

Asses
The Supreme Court ruled there cannot be a Nativity scene in Washington, D.C. this Christmas.
This isn’t for any religious or constitutional reason, they simply have not been able to find three wise men and a virgin in the nation’s capitol.
There was no problem however finding enough asses to fill the stable.
"A fraudulent intent, however carefully concealed at the outset, will generally, in the end, betray itself." Titus Livius
