Another Day Another Dollar

I ran into a buddy of mine who is a Deputy Federal Public Defender outside the courthouse this morning.

"What brings you here today?" I asked as we shook hands.

"Got to interview a guy that got caught with a machine gun that the government doesn't think he needs to have," he said.

" A machine gun?"

He just shrugged and rolled his eyes as he waved through the window at the Courtroom Security Officers to let them know he was there.

The door to the prisoner's entrance opened and a CSO waved him in.

"I'm sure he's got a perfectly reasonable explanation," I said to his back as he walked toward the courthouse.

"They always do," he said. "They always do."
