A man was once accused of a serious crime. The evidence was so incriminating that a guilty verdict seemed inevitable. In desperation, the defendant hired a prominent attorney. “Your only hope,” advised the lawyer “is to enter a plea of insanity. You will need to act crazy in court.

At the trial, the man followed his counsel’s advice and began making strange noises; jumping up and down and waving his hands. He performed so well that the case was soon dismissed.

To his utter dismay, when the lawyer approached his client to collect his fee, the man resumed his ridiculous stunt; making strange motions and sounds. His expert advice had come back to haunt him – he had become the butt of his own clever ploy.
