OUTSPOKEN CLERGYMAN

LUKY;
YEARS AGO, THE POSSIBLY APOCRYPHAL STORY USED TO BE TOLD ABOUT A VERY OUTSPOKEN CLERGYMAN WHO WAS CALLED AS AN EXPERT WITNESS AT A COURT CASE.
  Asked a question by the prosecutor, he hesitated before starting to say: "I think . . ."
Quick as a flash, the prosecutor interspersed: "You are asked to answer a question, not to tell the court what you are thinking."
  The witness turned to the magistrate and said: "Your honor, unlike the learned prosecutor, I have to think before I speak."
