（单词翻译:单击）

Drunken Billy was arrested for selling home-stilled whiskey. His lawyer put him on the stand and asked the jurors to look carefully at his client.

"Now, Ladies and Gentleman of the jury," concluded the lawyer, "you've looked carefully at the defendant1. Can you sit there in the jury and honestly believe that if my client had a quart of whiskey he would sell it?"

 

He was acquitted2.
