The Trial

“So let me get this straight,” the prosecutor said to the defendant. “You came home from work early and found your wife in bed with a strange man.”

“That’s correct,” said the defendant.

“Upon which,” continued the prosecutor, “you took out a pistol and shot your wife, killing her.”

“That’s correct,” said the defendant.

“Then my question to you is, why did you shoot your wife and not her lover?” asked the prosecutor.

“It seemed easier,” replied the defendant, “than shooting a different man every day!”
