【笑話原文】

Early Big Shopping

An offender was brought to trial before a judge. The judge asked him, "What is the crime you have committed?"

The offender said, "I went shopping too early during the New Year."

The judge said, "This is not a crime! Is there a mistake, perhaps? So how early did you go shopping?"

He answered, "The shop was not yet open for business, and I was already inside."
