Mike is found with apparatus to brew "Murats" (an illegal traditional
beer) in his homestead after a tip-off by neighbours and appears the following day
in court answering to the charges.

Excerpts:

Judge: Mike, do you swear to tell this court the truth to the best of your
knowledge?
Mike : Yes my Lord!

Judge: You are being charged on possession of apparatus to brew an
illicit brand of alcohol/"Murats", do you agree?
Mike: Yes my Lord, I agree with you!

Judge: Thank you for not wasting our time Mike, and as such the court is
going to charge you on that instantly.
Mike: (surprised) But sir, it was the apparatus alone and there was no
"Murats" in it, how then can you charge me?

Judge: No ways!, possession of the apparatus alone is a crime hence you
are going to be charged!
Mike: Well my Lord, before you pass the sentence, can you also charge me
on rape?

Judge: (perplexed) Did you also rape someone?
Mike : No my Lord, but I have the equipment right here, isn't it that you
said possession alone is a crime!!!!

Variant of the same joke goes something like this:

A couple went on vacation to a fishing resort up north. The husband liked to fish at the crack of dawn; the wife preferred to read.

One morning the husband returned after several hours of fishing and decided to take a short nap.

The wife decided to take the boat out. She was not familiar with the lake so she rowed out, anchored the boat, and started reading her book.

Along comes the sheriff in his boat, pulls up alongside and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading my book," she replies as she thinks to herself, 'Is this guy blind, or what?'

"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.

"But, Officer, I'm not fishing. Can't you see that?"

"But you have all this equipment, Ma'am. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that I'll have to accuse you of rape," snaps the irate woman.

"I didn't even touch you," grouses the sheriff.

"Yes, that's true....but you have all the equipment..."

lazy8.... are you trying to out-do jokes



*shakes head*

I prefer the first joke best

[Lazy8]

You saw right through me, uds. It's my three-part plan to attain instant celebrity status:

1. Tack an extra joke to another's funny post.
2. Then, a miracle happens!
3. Enjoy worldwide fame. Bask in the adoration of millions of fans.

I just have one or two bugs to work out of Step 2--sounds almost too simple to believe, eh?
