“Quiet!” yelled the judge. “You are also charged with killing a mailman with an electric drill.”
The spectator started to shout out, “You cheap son of a….”
The judge cut him off, thundering back, “Sir, I will hold you in contempt! What is the reason for your outbursts?”
“I’ve lived next to that lying S.O.B. for 10 years now, but do you think he ever had a tool when I needed to borrow one?”
