A small, uncertain, and nervous witness was being cross- examined. The lawyer thundered at her: "Have you ever been married?"
"Yes, sir," said the witness in a low voice. "Once."
"Whom did you marry?"
"Well, a man."
The lawyer said angrily, "Of course you married a man. Did you ever hear of anyone marrying a woman?"
And the witness said meekly, "My brother did."
