Archery
Once there was a competition. The idea of the competition was to see who
who was the best using longbow and arrows. Target was an apple on top of a
little boy's head.
First man steps forward, aims and shoots directly into the apple. "I'm
William Tell."
Second man steps forward, aims and shoots directly into William's arrow.
"I'm Robin Hood."
Then the third man steps forward, aims and shoots directly into the boy's
left eye. "I'm sorry!"

Dog Tales
Upon entering the little country store, the stranger noticed a sign
saying; DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG! posted on the glass door. Inside he
noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor besides the cash
register.
He asked the store manager, "Is THAT the dog folks are supposed to
beware of?"
"Yep, that's him," he replied.
The stranger couldn't help but be amused. "That certainly doesn't look
like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that
sign?"
"Because"; the owner replied, "before I posted that sign, people kept
tripping over him."
Defence
A defendant was on trial for murder in Oklahoma. There was strong
evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse. In the defense's
closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be
convicted, resorted to a trick: "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have
a surprise for you all," the lawyer said as he looked at his watch.
"Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into
this courtroom."
He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all
looked on eagerly. A minute passed. Nothing happened.
Finally the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up the previous statement. But
you all looked on with anticipation. I therefore put it to you that there
is reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and
insist that you return a verdict of not guilty."
The jury, clearly confused, retired to deliberate. A few minutes later,
the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty. "But how?" inquired
the lawyer. "You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the
door." The jury foreman replied: "Oh, we did look, but your client
didn't."
