An elderly couple was watching television one evening. The wife said, "I am going to get a dish of ice cream now." Kindly, the husband offered to get the ice cream for his wife. "I'll write it down so you don't forget," she said.

"I won't forget," the old gent said. "But, I want chocolate syrup and nuts on it. So, I'll write it down," she replied.

"I will get you the ice cream. Don't you worry," replied the gentleman.

A few minutes later, the old man returned with burger and eggs. His wife said, "See, I should have written it down because you forgot the toast."

At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness.
"Isn't it true," he bellowed, "that you accepted $5,000 to compromise this case?"
The witness stared out the window as though he hadn't heard the question.
"Isn't it true that you accepted $5,000 to compromise this case?" the lawyer repeated.
The witness still did not respond.
Finally, the Judge leaned over and said: "Sir, please answer the question.

"Oh," the startled witness said: "I thought he was talking to you."
