the 'mafia' has been in the news lately... some idiot politician in Vic went to the wrong dinner, says it was an accident , the Mafia capo sitting next to him... and this shiny news item has caught Ant's attention.. it could have just as easily been a man on a camel going down Bourke St being somehow connected to the body in the Macedon forest. .... it will be something, someone else, soon..
there was an article in the paper today, not a column I usually read.. but it resonated in regard to Borce and Karen's death... ( Peter Fitzsimons, Melbourne 'Age'..._ ).;
Joke of the Week
A defendant is on trial for murder. There is strong evidence indicating guilt, but no corpse has been found. In the defence's closing statement, the lawyer, knowing that his client will probably be convicted, resorts to a trick.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all," the lawyer says as he looks at his watch. "Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom."
He looks towards the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all look on eagerly. A minute passes. Nothing happens. Finally, the lawyer says, "Actually, I made up the previous statement. But, you all looked on with anticipation. I therefore put to you that you have a 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, retires to deliberate. A few minutes later, the jury returns and pronounces a verdict of guilty.
"But how?" inquires the lawyer. "You must have had some doubt. I saw all of you stare at the door."
The jury foreman replies, "Oh, we all looked – but your client didn't."
