Birthday party!
Happy birthday, dear, dear CC. 1SC provided a lovely teapot cake and I stayed with the theme. I found a tea cup and cupcake site where there are very beautiful examples of both. I also included some hors d'oeuvres and drinks for every taste. Have a lovely day and I really hope you get a birthday gift tomorrow (it would be a gift to EVERYBODY, actually).

Be afraid... very afraid!
We went to another Halloween party last night, and it was better than the one last week. I'm feeling sorry for myself today, because I danced far too much and my legs are paying the price! There were some great scary costumes and I hope seeing them will distract you from the really frightening event coming up next Tuesday.
I think Peter looked great!

Trial by jury
A defendant was on trial for murder. There was strong evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse. In the defense's closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be convicted, resorted to a trick. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all," the lawyer said as he looked at his watch.
"Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom." He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly. A minute passed. Nothing happened. Finally the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I therefore put to you that you have a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of not guilty."
The jury, clearly confused, retired to deliberate. A few minutes later, the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty. "But how?" inquired the lawyer. "You must have had some doubt, I saw all of you stare at the door."
The jury foreman replied, "Oh, we did look, but your client didn't."

==============
A man being tried for murder, facing the death penalty, happens to know one of the jurors. Before jury deliberation, the man finds a way to contact his friend and emphatically demands that he vote for life in prison with the possibility of parole. The friend agrees.
The jury deliberates for a week and returns a verdict of guilty with life imprisonment. The convicted man phones his friend and asks why it took so long for the verdict.
His friend says, "It took me a long time to convince the other jurors for life imprisonment."
"Why is that?"
"Because they wanted to acquit you!"
