A woman sues a man for defamation of character, charging that he called her a pig. The man is found guilty and made to pay the damages. After the trial, he asks the judge, "Does this mean that I can no longuer call Ms. Harding a pig?" The judge says, "That is correct."
"And does it mean that I can't call a pig Ms. Harding?"
"No," says the judge, "you are free to call a pig Ms. Harding. There is no crime in that."
The man looks Ms. Harding in the eye and says, "Good afternoon, Ms. Harding."
