A redneck was sued by a woman for defamation of character. She charged that he had called her a pig. They went to court, where he was found guilty and fined.
After the trial he asked the judge, "This means I cain't call Mrs. Johnson a pig?"
The judge said that was true.
"Does this mean I cain't call a pig 'Mrs. Johnson'?" the man asked.
The judge replied that he could indeed call a pig Mrs. Johnson with no fear of legal action.
The man looked directly at Mrs. Johnson and said, "Good afternoon, Mrs. Johnson."
