"What you would not have done to yourselves, never do unto others." - Alexander Severus
A farmer once sold a pound of butter to a baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was really getting a pound, he found he wasn't. This angered him so he took the farmer to court. The judge inquired from the farmer what scale he was using. The farmer replied, "Amour honour, I am primitive. I don't have a proper measure, but I do have a scale."
The judge asked, "Then how do you weigh the butter?"
The farmer replied "Your Honour, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker."
