Anyone for a Cigar
A defendant in a lawsuit involving large sums of money was talking to
his lawyer. "If I lose this case, I'll be ruined!"
"It's in the judge's hands now," said the lawyer.
"Would it help if I sent the judge a box of cigars?"
"No! The judge is a stickler on ethical behavior. A stunt like that
would prejudice him against you. He might even hold you in contempt of
court."
Within the course of time, the judge rendered a decision in favor of
the defendant. As the defendant left the courthouse, he said to his
lawyer, "Thanks for the tip about the cigars. It really worked!"
Confidently the lawyer responded, "I'm sure we would have lost the
case if you'd sent them."
"But I did send them.", replied the man.
"What?" shouted the lawyer?
"I sure did, that's how we won the case... good thing I remembered to
enclose the plaintiff's business card."

That was a very sneaky thing for the defendant to do. Very sharp wit. I'll try to remember to do this if I ever find myself in this situation. A fantastic joke!
