A Criminal
A criminal with a long record of transgressions was on trial for his latest crime.
The jury found him guilty on 33 counts and the judge sentenced him to 189 years.
Realising that even with time off for good behaviour he would be over one hundred when he was released, the prisoner burst into tears.
Noting this display of remorse, the judge reconsidered.
He said, "I didn't mean to be so severe. Thinking it over, I can see that I have imposed an extremely harsh sentence. So you don't have to serve the whole time."
The prisoner beamed with new found hope until the judge leaned toward him and said, "Just do as much as you can."
