Mistaken identity.
Although he was chosen for jury duty he seriously wanted to be
dismissed from serving.
He tried every excuse he could think of but none worked. On the day of the trial, he decided to give it one more shot. As the
trial was about to begin, he asked if he could approach the bench.
"Your Honour," he said, "I must be excused from this trial because
I am prejudiced against the defendant. I took one look at the man in the blue
suit with those beady eyes and that dishonest face and I said 'He's a crook!
He's guilty!' So, your Honour, I cannot possibly stay on this jury!"
With a tired annoyance the judge replied, "Get back in the jury box, you
fool. That man is the defendant's lawyer."

Hard to Choose?
For three years, the young attorney had been taking his brief
vacations at a country inn. The last time he'd finally managed an affair with
the innkeeper's daughter. Looking forward to an exciting few days, he dragged
his suitcase up the stairs of the inn, then stopped short.
There sat his lover with an infant on her lap!
"Helen, why didn't you write
when you learned you were pregnant?" he cried. "I would have rushed up
here, we could have gotten married, and the baby would have my name!"
"Well," she said, "when my folks found out about my condition, we
sat up all night talking and talking and decided it would be better to have a
bastard in the family than a lawyer."

Backfire!
An aging lawyer defending his long-time buddy, an old woodcutter accused of burglary, tried this
creative defence:
"Your Honour! My client merely inserted his arm into the kitchen window and
removed a few trifling articles, pies cooling in the summer breeze, to be exact. 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 three day'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 the two pals walked out.

Things You Probably Shouldn't Say to a Cop!
1. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.
2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector
wasn't plugged in.
3. Aren't you the guy from the Village People?
4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up
with me. Good job!
5. Are You Andy or Barney?
6. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical
condition to be a police officer.
7. You're not going to check the trunk, are you?
8. I pay your salary!
9. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only
gave me a warning, too!
10. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one
of us does.
11. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know
there are no other cars around. That's how far ahead of me they are.
12. When the officer says, "Gee son... your eyes look red,
have you been drinking?"
You probably shouldn't respond with, "Gee officer your eyes look
glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"

How Stupid is Stupid?
This is a true story from the WordPerfect help
line.
Needless to say the help desk employee was fired; however,
he/she is currently suing the WordPerfect organization for
"Termination without "Cause".
Actual dialog of a former Word perfect Customer Support
employee:
"Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words
went away.",
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I
type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does
it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the
power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged
into the wall."
".......Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were
two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find
the other cable."
".......Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the
back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way
over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because
it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is
coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now.
Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your
computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just
like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you
bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too ****** STUPID to own a
computer."

A prisoner in jail receives a letter from his
wife:
"Dear Husband, I have decided to plant some lettuce in the back
garden. When is the best time to plant them?"
The prisoner, knowing that the prison guards read all mail,
replied in a letter:
"Dear Wife, whatever you do, do not touch the back garden. That
is where I hid all the cash money from the bank robbery."
A week or so later, he received another letter from his
wife:
"Dear Husband, you wouldn't believe what just happened! Some
policemen came with shovels to the house and dug up all the back
garden. They didn't seem to find a thing."
The prisoner wrote another letter back: "Dear wife, now is the
best time to plant the lettuce."
