There are two white South Africans and a black South African in jail discussing why they got locked up. The first white South African begins by saying, “I got five years for assault. The judge said that I was very lucky because if it had been assault with intent to kill, I would have gotten ten years.” The second white South African begins his story. “I got ten years for robbery. The judge said that I was very lucky because if it was armed robbery, I would have gotten fifteen years.” It is now the black South Africans turn. “I got twenty five years for riding my bike with no lights on. The judge said that I was very lucky because if it had been dark at the time, I would have gotten life.”
