A man was taken to court for calling a
Honourable Senator a Pig. He was a first
offender and the judge was in a good mood
and decided to show mercy. So he discharged
him after warning him to desist from
unguarded utterances in future. The man
removed his cap and thanked the benevolent
judge profusely.
'Thank you, your lordship. Honestly sir, I didn't
know it was wrong to call a Honourable Senator
a pig. I won't do it again. I am sorry'.
'It's okay', said the judge, 'you may go'
'My lord, may I ask a question, sir?'
'Feel free' answered the judge.
'Now I know it's wrong to call a Honourable
Senator a Pig. But is it also wrong to call a Pig
Honourable Senator?'
Amused, the judge replied 'I don't know why
you would want to address a pig as a senator.
But I don't think the pig would mind. It's not
unlawful, by the way'. Yes, you can call any pig
Honourable Senator '
The smiled and noded, then he turned to look
pointedly at the Senator and said 'Goodbye,
Honourable Senator'.
