Harold is appearing before a judge because he is on trial for paying a prostitute for sex.

"How do you plead?" asks the judge, the defendant.

"Not Guilty, your honor."

Showing him a videotape of the alleged act, the prosecutor responds, "How can you claim innocence, if we have both the sex act, plus your subsequent payment to the alleged prostitute right here on film?"

"Easy," says Harold, "I'll admit to the court that although I wasn't engaged in an act of prostitution, I was committing another crime, gambling."

"Gambling?" responds the prosecutor, "How so?"

"Well you see," answers Harold, "I went up to the young lady earlier that night as she was working in a topless bar and said to her, "I'll bet you $200 that you don't get to have sex with me tonight'. That videotape is just footage of me losing the bet".
