Defence counsel: Your honour the FBI agent could have cracked my
clients grocery list within 24 hours if he hadn't taken a long lunch
break at Hooters Topless Bar & Grill and not overlooked that he was
running his NifTY War3Z crAk3R v0.3 against the wrong file.
Prosecutor: Could not
Defence: Could so
Prosecutor: Irrelevant your auspiciousness, the fact is the grocery
list was not decrypted in 24 hours.
Judge: I sentence the defendant to $100 000 penalty or in default 15
years at a federal re-education facility.
Defence: But your worthiness it was only a $35 grocery list!
Judge: Anyone seen my gavel?
