A repeat offender comes before the judge in court after getting arrested for stealing a pair of shoes.
The Judge looks at his name, glances down at the defendant and immediately remembers him from an earlier criminal case.
The Jurist remarks, "I'm very disappointed with you, because it was only two years ago that you were here for stealing a pair of shoes. Now you're here once again for the exact same offense. What do you have to say for yourself?"
The defendant thought for a second and then remarked, "You're absolutely right your Honor, and I apologize for that. But they just don't make shoes the way they used to." -
