The man in the back of the courtroom yells out, "You bastard!"
The judge stops and says to the man in the back of the courtroom "Sir, I can understand your anger and frustration at this crime. But no more outbursts from you - or I'll charge you with contempt. Is that understood?"
The man in the back of the court stands up and says, "I'm sorry, Your Honour, but for fifteen years, I've lived next door to that b'stard, and every time I asked to borrow a hammer, he said he didn't have one."
