When May I Earn My Living?

As soon as the judge took his seat and the accused put in the box, the judge announced, “John Jones, for breaking into a house in the middle of the night, I hereby sentence you to two years in prison.” And John Jones immediately pleaded, “But your honour, the last time I was here in your court you sentenced me to a year in jail for breaking into a house in the middle of the day!
