Making the judges believe

  Vallandigham was a lawyer. In his last appearance in the courtroom, he represented a client(委托人)on trial for murder. He insisted that the victim(受害人)had drawn his own gun in a way that caused it to fire, killing himself. To prove what he said was true, Vallandigham showed the victim's method of drawing a gun using the evidence gun filled with bullets. The gun went off, and he lost his life but proved his case.

Gone fishing

  A fisherman in Kiev killed himself by electricity while fishing in the river. The 43-year-old man connected cables to the main power supply of his home and put the end into the river. The electric shock killed the fish, which floated to the top of the water. The man stepped into the river to collect his catch, forgetting to remove the live wire, and terribly suffered the same fate as the fish. The man was fishing for a mourning meal to remember the first anniversary(周年纪念)of his mother-in-law's death.

Wrong and wronger

  A 40-year-old official of the local government took his dog out for a walk. He met with a Police Academy student who was guarding two women to their homes. The student pointed out that the official's dog was not allowed on a public street without a lead. Now, no one would be brave enough to tell a village official what to do, so the two men began to argue. Unable to resolve the matter by oral means, the official finally pulled out a military RGD-5 hand grenade(手榴弹)and threw it to the student's feet. His well-trained dog immediately ran for the object and fetched it for his master…and the man and dog met the same fate.
