A famous art collector is walking through the city when he
notices a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store and
he does a double take. He recognises that the saucer is extremely old and
very valuable, so he walks casually into the store and offers to buy the cat
for two dollars. The storeowner replies, "I'm sorry, but the cat isn't
for sale."
The collector says, "Please, I need a hungry cat
around the house to catch mice. I'll pay you twenty dollars for that
cat." And the owner says "Sold," and hands over the cat. The
collector continues, "Hey, for the twenty bucks I wonder if you could
throw in that old saucer. The cat's used to it and it'll save me from having
to get a dish." And the owner says, "Sorry buddy, but that's my
lucky saucer. So far this week, I've sold 68 cats."
Simple
logic
A lawyer defending a man 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 offense committed by his
limb." "Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic,
I sentence the defendant's arm to one 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.
