An Unspeakable Imbecile

A judge addressed the convicted assassin, saying, "Prisoner at the bar, do you have anything to say as to why the death sentence should not be passed upon you?"

"Will what I say make any difference?" the convicted assassin replied.

"I do not see how it can," the judge answered thoughtfully. "No, it will not."

"Then," said the doomed man, "I would just like to remark that you are the most unspeakable old imbecile in seven states and the District of Columbia."
