Mick was in court for a double murder and the judge said, "You are 
charged with beating your wife to death with a hammer."

A voice at the back of the courtroom yelled out, "You bastard!"

The judge continued, "You are also charged with beating your daughter to death 
with a hammer." 

Again, the voice at the back of the courtroom yelled out, "You f***ing 
bastard!!!" 

The judge stopped, looked at the man in the back of the courtroom, and 
said, "Paddy, I can understand your anger and frustration at this crime, but I 
will not have any more of these outbursts from you or I shall charge you with 
contempt! Now is there a problem?" 

Paddy, at the back of the court stood up and responded, "For fifteen years I 
lived next door to that bastard. And every time I asked to borrow a f***ing 
hammer, he said he didn't have one!"
