Defamation Of Character

A man was sued by a woman for defamation of character. She charged that he had called her a pig. The man was found guilty and fined.

After the trial he asked the judge, “This means that I cannot call Mrs. Compton a pig?”

The judge said that was true.

“Does this mean I cannot call a pig Mrs. Compton?” the man asked.

The judge replied that he could indeed call a pig Mrs. Compton with no fear of legal action.

The man looked directly at Mrs. Compton and said, “Good afternoon, Mrs. Compton.”
