Joke

A man was sued by a woman for defamation of character. She charged that he had called her a pig. They went to court, where he was found guilty and fined.

After the trial he asked the judge, "This means I cain't call Mrs. Johnson a pig?"

The judge said that was true.

"Does this mean I cain't 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.

The man looked directly at Mrs. Johnson and said, "Good afternoon, Mrs. Johnson."
