“Not guilty, Your Honor.”

“Tell the court what happened.”

“Your Honor, I needed a gift for my wife. We married on New Year’s Eve last year; today’s our anniversary. The store was closing, and the clerk didn't want to accept my payment. I left my credit card number on the counter, so technically I did not steal the necklace. Now, I just want to hurry home to my wife.”

“The court finds you guilty!”

“Aw.”

“Fortunately, you’ll begin your three day sentence next year.”

“Whew, thanks. Happy New Year!”

The magistrate looks at his watch, “Take him to jail!”

“Aw.”
