" . . . and recognizing, Your Honor, that this case would surely drive any jury insane, the accused, who are also the accusers and aren't present because they're hysterical, can't stop laughing and crying, asked to be tried by you, noted for your fairness throughout the land."
"Well, this case being internationally publicized I've cut short my heart-attack recovery to hear it, so proceed."
"Your Honor, the accused have been happily married for some thirty years, but several years ago, during pillow-talk one night, they agreed that any form of sexual activity might be construed as rape and murder and from that night they've been abstaining. But several months ago, during pillow-talk again, they decided they should share their deduction with the world because it is potentially dangerous for populations of the world . . ."
"How so?"
"Your Honor, their deduction had started with a fact so simple that they believed most humans never think of it."
"Which is?"
"A human is a spot of sperm and an egg. And that spot of sperm and egg grow to an infant and later it sprouts into what we call a man or a woman . . ."
"So?"
"That's why we say that a man is part woman and a woman is part man -- a grown-up sperm and egg. That's why we can give each other a little slack from time to time . . ."
"So what's the problem?"
"Well, Your Honor, in that spot of sperm and egg that combined to form us come generations of ancestors who surely brought their generations of ancestors and when we're having sex we don't know whether those generations of men and women in us like what we're doing to them or not; so, in that love-making aren't we violating each other at every stage of maturity we've come through and that we shall always carry within us, the infant --"
"Oh, holy, merciful God --"
"-- the adolescent, the teenager -- where did those stages go? They're still in us -- see what I'm getting at, Judge"
"Please, God, no more --"
"And if there was a person in those generations in us who millions of us worship as 'holy, divine' --"
"Oh, Lord, help me, God -- oh -- my heart . . . ."
