The Two Circles
Two men are standing before a judge. Both men were arrested on
the same day and given the assignment to devise a program to prevent others from
committing crimes. After spending two days in jail they were ask to present
their ideas to the judge.
The first man holds up a poster displaying two circles, one smaller than the
other. He points to the small circle and says, "This is the amount of
citizens who do not commit crimes. Then, pointing to the larger circle he
explains "This is the amount that do. I will tell people if they commit
crimes they will have to endure an overcrowded jail."
The second man grabs the poster and pointing to the smaller circle says,
"I'll tell men this is your butt before jail." Then he points to the
large circle saying. "This is it after."
