A man was sued by a woman for defamation of character. She charged that he had
called her a pig. The man was found guilty and fined.

After the trial he asked the judge, This means that I cannot call Mrs. Johnson
a pig? The judge said that was true.

Does this mean I cannot call a pig Mrs. Johnson? the man asked. The judge
replied that he could indeed call a pig Mrs. Johnson with no fear of legal
action.

The man looked directly at Mrs. Johnson and said, Good afternoon, Mrs.
Johnson.
