A guy was brought in front of a judge. "What's the charge?" the judge asked. "Stealing 23 bottles of beer, your honor", the prosecutor answered. "Case dismissed", replied the judge. "You can't make a case out of 23 bottles."

A man opened a letter from his ex-wife; it appeared to contain a single line of
Coded message: 370H-SSV-0773H.

He was baffled, so showed it to a friend. His friend said, "You're holding the message upside down."

The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?
