| Defamation of character |

A man was sued by a woman for defamation of character. She charged that he had called her a pig. The man was found guilty and fined.
After the trial he asked the judge, Does this mean that I cannot call Mrs. Johnson a pig?
The judge said that was true.
Does this mean I cannot call a pig, 'Mrs. Johnson'? the man asked. The judge replied that he could indeed call a pig 'Mrs. Johnson' with no fear of legal action.
The man looked directly at Mrs. Johnson and said...
Good afternoon, Mrs. Johnson! |
