Part two of the Miles Kington court report from the Independent
My personal favourite:
- Judge:
- Tell me, Mr Chrysler, do these businessmen of yours also have Gideon Bibles by their bedside at home?
- Chrysler:
- Many of them, sir.
- Judge:
- And where do you get the Gideon Bibles from?
- Chrysler:
- Alas, they, too, have to be taken from hotels.
- Judge:
- Then why are you not also up on a charge of Bible-stealing?
- Chrysler:
- Because the Bibles do not belong to the hotels. They belong to the Gideon Society. And the Gideon Society has decided not to prosecute me, but to forgive me and tell me to go and sin no more.
- Judge:
- And have you sinned no more?
- Chrysler:
- Alas, no.
