手臂服刑(趣味英语)
一个人因盗窃被控,他的律师别出心裁地为他辩护:
“我的当事人只是将手臂伸进窗户,移动了一些无足轻重的东西。他的手臂并非他本人,我不明白你怎能因为他的手臂犯罪而惩罚他整个人。”
“讲得好,”法官说,“按照你的逻辑,我判被告的手臂监禁一年。他爱陪不陪,随他便。”
被告露出笑容。在律师帮助下,他卸下假肢,放在凳子上,走了出去。

The Right To Bare Arms
A law y er defendin g a man accused of bur g lar y tried this creative defense:
“M y client merel y inserted his arm into the win-dow and removed a few triflin g articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how y ou can p unish the whole individual for an offense com-mitted b y his limb.”
“Well p ut,” the j ud g e re p lied.“Usin g y our lo gic,I sentence the de-fendant's arm to one y ear's im p riso-nment.He can ac-com p an y it or not,as he chooses.”
The defendant smiled. And, with his law y er's assista-nce,he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench and walked out.
