George: “I robbed a bank, and they gave me 20 years.”
Herman: “Hmm. I killed a man, and I’m here for 3 days.”
George: “WHAT??? I rob a bank and get 20 years; you kill a man and get 3 days???”
Herman: “Yeah, it was a lawyer.”

“The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.”
