A guy was on trial for murder and if convicted, would get
the electric chair. His brother found out that a redneck was on the jury and
figured he would be the one to bribe.
He told the redneck that he would be paid $10,000 if he
could convince the rest of the jury to change the charge to manslaughter.
The jury was out an entire week and returned with a
verdict of manslaughter.
After the trial, the brother went to the redneck's home,
told him what a great job he had done and paid him the $10,000.
The redneck replied that it wasn't easy to convince the
rest of the jury to change the charge to manslaughter - they all wanted to
let him go.

Little Johnny has been bringing his drawings home from
kindergarten every day since he started a month ago. Each day his mother
admires the pictures and hangs them on the refrigerator. One thing starts
bothering her though. Little Johnny only uses black and browns for his
drawings. Fearing a problem with her young son and not wanting to make it
worse, she decides to take him to a child psychologist.
The psychologist delicately goes to work. He gives Johnny
a battery of psychological tests and has a long chat with Johnny. Everything
seems perfectly normal.
Everyday for two weeks, the tests continue. Yet everyday,
Little Johnny continues to bring home drawings in only black and brown.
Frustrated at not being able to get to the root of the problem and fearful that
something is terribly wrong, the child psychologist decides to give Little
Johnny some paper and a box of crayons to observe what happens.
Little Johnny opens the box of crayons and exclaims,
"Oh Boy! A new box of crayons! At school we only have old boxes and the
only colors left in mine are black and brown."
