At the height of a political
corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness. "Isn't it
true," he bellowed, "that you accepted five thousand dollars to
compromise this case?"
The witness stared
out the window, as though he hadn't heard the question.
"Isn't it
true that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?" the
lawyer repeated.
The witness still
did not respond.
Finally, the judge
leaned over and said, "Sir, please answer the question."
"Oh,"
the startled witness said, "I thought he was talking to you."
