Mr. Jones

A Mr. Jones was sued by a Mrs. Johnson for defamation of Character. She charged that he had called her a pig. Mr. Jones was indeed found guilty and fined.

After the trial he asked the judge, "Your Honor, this means that I cannot call Mrs. Johnson a pig?"

The judge said that was true.

"Does this mean I cannot call a pig Mrs. Johnson?" the man asked.

The judge replied that he could indeed call a pig 'Mrs. Johnson' with no fear of legal action.

Mr. Jones grinned, looked directly at Mrs. Johnson and said, "Good afternoon, Mrs. Johnson."
