I think that we need OMD and MPH in here, each with a ruler to whack Mr. Long until he becomes Mr. Short.

A murder trial was concluding. In his closing, the defense lawyer stated strongly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the prosecution has made much of its circumstantial case against my client, but as you all know by now, they have never found the alleged victim. Well, members of the jury, we have done what they have failed to do, proving without a doubt my client's innocence. The person presumed dead is about to walk into this courtroom." With that, the attorney looked expectantly at the doors at the back of the courtroom. The jurors, stunned, looked at the door eagerly for a minute, but no one entered. Finally, the lawyer stated, "I confess, I made up the previous statement. But I did so to prove a point about reasonable doubt. All of you thought that person would enter the court. How can you find my client guilty when you have such strong guilty that anyone was event killed?" To the lawyer's shock, the jury only deliberated for ten minutes before returning a guilty verdict. Afterward the attorney asked the jury how they could have come to such a conclusion. "You must have had doubt," he argued. "I saw all of you stare at the door." One member of the jury replied, "We looked, all right. But your client didn't." AHHH! That feels good!
