Chin-Chin the panda was on trial for entering a New York City
restaurant, eating dinner, pulling out a machine gun, and shooting
out the windows and doors.
The judge looked at Chin-Chin's lawyer and proclaimed, "Thirty
eyewitnesses saw your client pay for dinner, shoot up the place,
and leave. Security cameras caught the entire incident on video.
I have no choice but to sentence your client ..."
"Wait a second, your honor," said the lawyer, "My client may be=20
guilty, but there are extenuating circumstances. He couldn't help
his behavior that night, and if you look up the word 'panda' in the
dictionary, you'll have no choice but to agree."
The judge was puzzled, but he had his secretary bring his dictionary
into court. There, under the letter P, he found; "PANDA: Black and
white bear from China that eats shoots and leaves."
