A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defence: My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb. Well put, the judge replied. Using your logic, I sentence the defendants arm to one year imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses. The defendant smiled and with his lawyers assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.
