A woman sued a man for defamation for calling her a pig. The man is found guilty and sentenced to pay compensation. At the end of the trial, the man asked the judge, "So I can't call Miss Harding a pig anymore?" he asks.
"Like that." says the judge.
“Well, can I call a pig Miss Harding?”
"Of course." says the judge. You can call any pig Miss Harding.
The man then looks at Mrs. Harding, "Good day, Mrs. Harding." says.
