A trucking firm had experienced a loss through the theft of 24 pigs. The lawyer wanted to impress the jury and so he dramatically stated, “Men and women of the jury . . . we are talking about 24 pigs. That is twice as many as are sitting in the jury today.”

Who Can Know It?

“Who can know it?” Jer.

Just outside a western West Virginia town live two wealthy brothers who together own a large construction company. They also a beautiful acreage where they decided to build adjoining houses for their familes. The houses were finally finished and work on the landscape was now being done.

One of the brothers was moving the crane from one location to another. The heavy steel ball swung in front of him. He turned the crane to move in a different direction and the unexpected happened. The large steel ball swung into his brother’s new house destroying one end of the house.

When his brother learned of the accident he boarded his large bulldozer dozer and dozed down his brothers house. His brother seeing what was taking place began to use the crane with a vengeance and completely destroyed his brothers house. Because of the unpredictablity and uncontrollability of carnality the two brothers had foolishly destroyed their brand new houses.
