Benjy had been arrested and was now up before the judge.
The judge asks, “Do you admit you broke into the same clothes shop 3 times?”
“Yes,” replies Benjy.
“Could you please tell the court what you stole,” asks the judge.
“I stole a dress, your honour,” replies Benjy.
“Just one dress? But you admitted to breaking in 3 times,” says the judge.
“Yes I did, your honour,” says Benjy, “but on two of those occasions, I broke in to return the dress I took before.”
“Return the dress? Why? I don’t understand,” says the judge.
“Because my wife Bette didn’t like the design, your honour.”
