The Witness

An old man was a witness in a burglary case. 

The defense lawyer asked Richard, "Did you see my client commit this burglary?" 

"Yes," said Richard , "I saw him plainly take the goods." 

The lawyer asks Richard again, "Richard, this happened at night. Are you sure you saw my client commit this crime?" 

"Yes" says Richard, "I saw him do it." 

Then the lawyer asks Richard, "Richard listen, you are 80 years old and your eye sight probably is bad. Just how far can you see at night?" 

Richard says, "I can see the moon, how far is that?"
