There’s an old story about the trial of a man charged with biting off another man’s finger in a fight. An eyewitness took the stand. The defense attorney asked, ‘Did you actually see my client bite off the finger?’ The witness said, ‘well, no, I didn’t.’ ‘Aha!’ Said the attorney with a smug smile. ‘How then can you claim he bit off the man’s finger?’ ‘Well,’ replied the witness, ‘I saw him spit it out.’
