“What may i ask is the charge my liege?”
“Tax evasion, drunkeness, and being an overall nut.”
“Your honor i fought with that man in the war, he doesn’t drink a drop.”
“Look he came before this court and obviously was so bloody tanked he tried to tell us his house had flown away and his family fell out the back that is why he was not here on time to testify against the prisoners. Do i look that stupid?”
“No my lord.”
