delyte is put before the judge's bench because he is on
trial for paying a prostitute for sex. "How do you
plead?" asks the judge, to the defendant.
"Not Guilty, your honor."
Showing him a videotape of the alleged act, the prosecu-
tor responds, "How can you possibly convince the court
of your innocence, if we have both the sex act, plus
your subsequent payment to the alleged prostitute right
here on tape?"
"Easy," says the defendant, "I'll admit to the court
that although I wasn't engaged in an act of prostitu-
tion, I was committing another 'heinous' crime ...
Gambling."
"Gambling?" responds the prosecutor. "How so?"
"Well you see," answers the defendant, "I went up to
the young lady earlier that night as she was working
in a topless bar and said to her, 'I'll bet you $200
that you don't get to have sex with me tonight.' That
videotape is just footage of me losing the bet!"
