Tom gets a telephone call in the middle of the night. It's his baby brother, Bill. Bill says, "I need your help, Tom. I'm in jail".
Tom: "No problem, brother. I'm on my way".
Bill: "Don't worry about coming down right now. The judge will set bail at 9:30 tomorrow morning. What I need you to do is find me an attorney ".
Tom: "Okay. What's the charge?"
Bill: "I'm charged with having sexual relations with a goat in public".
Tom: "Christ, Bill. Okay, I'll see you in the morning".
Tom bails Bill out the next morning. He says, " I've narrowed it down to two choices. One is the greatest legal mind in the state. The other is not nearly that bright, but he's a genius at picking juries".
Bill says, "Get me the second guy".
The trial begins. The prosecutor call his first witness, a sweet little old lady. She slowly makes her way up to the stand.
Gently, the prosecutor asks her:
"Mrs. Jones, can you tell the court what you saw on the morning of the fifteenth?"
Mrs. Jones answers, tearfully:
"I was on my way to church, when I saw that man (pointing to Bill), out in his yard, having sexual relations with a goat".
The prosecutor asks:
"Mrs. Jones, I know this is difficult-but can you tell the court what else you saw?"
Stifling a sob, Mrs Jones answers:
"As I was coming home form church, I saw the goat licking that same man's genitals".
The judge blanches. An audible gasp is heard from the spectators.
One juror turns to another and whispers, " You know, a good goat would do that".
