卡爾森被指控盜竊一輛奔馳轎車,經過長時間的審訊,陪審團將他無罪釋放。之后,卡爾森找到了聽證會上主持的法官。
“Your honor,” he said, “I want to get out a warrant for that dirty lawyer of mine.”
“法官大人,”他說,“我想申請一張逮捕令抓捕那個骯臟的律師。”
“Why?” asked the judge, “He won your acquittal. What do you want to have him arrested for?”
“為什么?”法官問,“他讓你贏得了無罪釋放。難道他有什么罪嗎?”
“Well,your honor,”replied Carlson, “I didn't have the money to pay his fee, so he went and took the car I stole.”
“是的,法官大人,”卡爾森回答,“我沒有錢付我的律師費,他就把我那輛偷來的車開走了。”
