Earle Hodgins: Judge James Kuff

Quotes 

• Judge James Kuff : Harry, suppose you were a judge, and two men were brought up in front of you, both of them claiming the same thing. What would be the first thing you'd do?

  Harry Wittman : Well, I'd find out which one was the liar.

  Judge James Kuff : If both of these men had a reputation for honesty, for telling the truth.

  Harry Wittman : Ah, then I'd kill the pig.

  Judge James Kuff : Why, Harry?

  Harry Wittman : Why? 'Cos I'd sit them down both together to make friends over a nice pork dinner.

• Judge James Kuff : Now, Harry, I'm gonna ask you a very strange question. Do you know the difference between heat lightning and fork lightning?

  Harry Wittman : I dunno what makes the difference but I know how the difference looks. Heat lightning lights up all of the skies. But fork lightning makes jaggy streaks like that.
