Paddy In Court

Paddy was summoned to court to appear as a witness in a lawsuit

The prosecutor opened his questioning with,

“Where were you the night of August 24th?”

“Objection!” said the defense attorney

“Irrelevant!”

“Oh, that's okay,” said the Paddy from the witness stand

“I don't mind answering the question.”

“I object!” the defense said again.

“No, really,” said the Paddy

“I'll answer.”

The judge ruled: “If the witness insists on answering, there is no reason for the defense to object.”

So the prosecutor repeated the question:

“Where were you the night of August 24th?”

Paddy replied brightly, “I don't know.”
