Summoned to court

Judy was summoned to court to appear as a witness in a lawsuit. The prosecutor opened his questioning with, "Where were you the night of August 24th?"

"Objection!" said the defense attorney. "Irrelevant!"

"Oh, that's okay," said Judy from the witness stand. "I don't mind answering the question."

"I object!" the defense said again.

"No, really," Judy said. "I'll answer."

The judge ruled: "If the witness insists on answering, there is no reason for the defense to object."

So the prosecutor repeated the question: "Where were you the night of August 24th?"

Judy: "I don't remember."
