Lincoln's Moral Dilemma
on
Published in Jokes
It's said that Abraham Lincoln once sized up the case of a prospective client as follows:
"You have a good case, technically, but in terms of justice and equity, it's got problems. So you'll have to look for another lawyer to handle the case, because the whole time I was up there talking to the jury, I'd be thinking, 'Lincoln, you're a liar!' and I might just forget myself and say it out loud."
