A man accused of robbing a bank was tried for the final time and was found guilty. Just before he was taken away, the man looked the judge in the eye and said, „Would it be okay if I called you a son of a bitch?“The judge’s face went red and he roared, „It most certainly would not! I’d add another two years onto your sentence!“The defendant nodded and then asked, „Would it be okay if I THOUGHT you were a son of a bitch?“The judge was becoming very annoyed but replied, „Yes, I suppose that would be okay. I obviously have no control over your thoughts.“The defendant smiled and said, „Well, in that case, judge, I think you are a son of a bitch!“
