Three men were caught for murder on the same day. They were produced in the court the very next day.
A life-saving wish
Three men were caught for murder on the same day. They were produced in the court the very next day.
After hearing all the arguments, the judge decided to announce the verdict after lunch.
It happened to be his wife’s birthday that day and he had promised not to give death penalty on her birthday to anyone.
After lunch, the judge announced that all the three accused would receive 500 lashes.
Since it’s almost a death penalty, all accused were asked for their last wish.
The first one thought as nothing could save him now, he shouldn’t wish for anything. He was lashed 500 times all over his body. He was bleeding all over, gasping for final breath and conciousness.
When the second person was asked for his wish, he thought for a moment and said, “I wish that 10 pillows are tied all over me.”
Well, 500 lashes were given but he laughed as the pillows absorbed all the force of the lashes.
Now, the third person was called and asked for his wish. He looked around.
He saw the first person counting his last breath and then the second person laughing at him and calling him an idiot.
He took some time and with a deep breath he said,”Tie the second person over me. “
Even genie is helpless
While walking along a beach, a man finds a lamp and rubs it off. A genie appears and offers to grant the man one wish.
The man replies, “What about three?”
The genie retorts, “ Look pal, I’m in a hurry. I’ve been cooped up in that damn lamp for years.”
“OK, all right,” the guy responds.
“Tell you what, I’m tired of paying for airplane tickets to Hawaii. I’d like you to build a bridge from California to Hawaii.”
This pisses the genie off. He screams, “Hey, this isn’t the movies. Your wish has to be practical.”
“Do you know the engineering it would take to design that, the materials it would take, you’d have to compensate for plate techtonics, the continental shelf. “
“Geez,” the guy responds, “well, I’d really like to understand women.”
The genie responds, “Did you want two lanes or four?”
A creative defence
A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defence: “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 one-year 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.
