P.Clodius Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 While prosecuting a man accused of poisoning his dad with a laced piece of cake. After Cicero's blistering examination the accused stands and shouts, "I'd like to give you a piece of my mind." Response, "I'd rather have that than a piece of your cake!" hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
