A seemingly’ stupid young fellow was being bullied in cross-examination. “Do you ever work?" demanded the attorney. “Not much," the witness agreed. “Have you ever earned as much as £2 in one week?” “Two pounds? Yeah. A couple of times.” “Is your father regularly employed?" “Nope.” "Isn’t it true that he’s a worthless good-for-nothing, too?” “I don’t know about that," said the witness. “But you might ask him. He’s sittin’ there on the jury.”
