The Great Melting Pot

A man accused of theft was appearing before the Judge.


"Your Honor," his lawyer said, "I feel it is very unfair for my client to be accused of robbery. He is an illegal immigrant, has just arrived in America and is guest in our city. Unable to find his way he roams all around curiously. He came to this country with knowledge of only a few words of our great English which pertains to his livelihood skills back from his mother country."


The irritant Judge looked in disgust at the defendant and asked, "How much English do you speak?"


The lawyer translated that to the defendant, defendant looked the judge in the eyes and replied, “Give me your wallet!"
