The Man with No Enemies


  AN Inoffensive Person walking in a public place was assaulted by a 
Stranger with a Club, and severely beaten.

  When the Stranger with a Club was brought to trial, the complainant 
said to the Judge:

  "I do not know why I was assaulted; I have not an enemy in the 
world."

  "That," said the defendant, "is why I struck him."

  "Let the prisoner be discharged," said the Judge; "a man who has no 
enemies has no friends.  The courts are not for such."
