Circumstantial Evidence
There was this farmer called to serve jury duty. During the questioning of prospective jurers by the prosecuting attorney ask the farmer if he could convict someone on "Circumstantial Evidence"?
The farmer responded "No way in Hell could I do that!!"
The attorney then ask why he was so adament in his answer. The farmer went on to say he had a very bad experence with circumstancial evidence. Whereupon the attroney ask him to explain.
"Well Sir," the farmer began,"I was out in the barn milking ole Bessie one hot day and as I was milking her she kicked over the milk pail with her right front foot. The milk soaked my overalls and underwear, so I took them off, rinsed them out and hung them out to dry. Thern I got a piece of rope and tied her right foot to the floor.
I then sat back down andstarted milking her again and she kicked the pail over with her left front foot. So I got another piece of rope and tied her foot down as I did the first.
She then proceeded to kick the pail with both back feet, so I tied them both to the floor also. Well I thought I had things under control when she whipped her tail around and slapped me in the face.
By this time I was damn sick and tired of her antics so I moved my stool behind her, stood up on it and was in the process of tying her tail to one of the rafters, wearing nothing but my T-shirt and boots, my wife walks into the barn!!.......
"No Sir, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
