IF I HAD A HAMMER
A man is in court for murder and the judge says, 'You are charged with beating your wife to death with a hammer.'
Then a voice at the back of the court says, 'You bastard.'
The judge continues, 'You are also charged with beating your daughter to death with a hammer.'
Again the voice at the back of the court says, 'You bastard.'
The judge says, 'Now, we cannot have any more of these outbursts from you or I shall charge you with contempt! What is the problem?'
The man at the back of the court says, 'Fifteen years I lived next door to that bastard and everytime I asked to borrow a hammer he said he never had one!'
