The court shall now hear the defense.
Mr Frissel you have accused yourself of being an idiot. Why is that?
Because of what I said to that girl today.
Are you a god Mr. Frissel?
A what?
A god!
Eh no
What are you then?
A human
Ah and do humans make mistakes?
Yes but…
And are you or are you not the guy who got 500 points in his leaving cert?
I am but…
And did you or did you not correctly spell ‘incandescent’ the other day?
Yes but…
Correct me if I’m wrong Mr. Frissel but weren’t you singled out by your professor last week as the only one with any potential in a class of 200 people, in front of those 200 people?
That’s correct.
Well then Mr. Frissel, considering all of this, I don’t think you deserve to brand yourself with the idiot label. Do you?
Eh maybe not.
The defense rests.
If only we all had a defense lawyer every time we put ourselves down.
