Bob was sued by his neighbor for defamation of character.
She claimed that during an argument, he had called her a pig.
Bob was found guilty and fined $100.
After the trial, he approached the judge and asked, "Does this mean I can no longer call Mrs. Johnson a pig?"
The judge confirmed that was true.
"Well, then would I be allowed to call a pig 'Mrs. Johnson'?" he asked.
The judge replied that he could indeed call a pig "Mrs. Johnson" with no fear of legal action.
Content with that answer, Bob started to walk out of the courtroom, turned to his neighbor, and said, “Good day, Mrs. Johnson.”
