Two young men get arrested for the possesion of drugs and appear before a judge. They admit to the charges and the judge looks sternly at them.
"I'll give you a choice," he says. "Either go to prison for thirty days or go out into the community and persuade others from the dangers of drug use."
"If you have failed in your task after a week you will receive a custodial sentence of 60 days!"
Both young men take the opportunity to avoid doing the time and go into the community working to stop others from being involved with illegal drugs. One week later, as agreed, they return before the court for an appraisal of how much they have acheived.
The first enters the dock and the judge looks him in the eye and says "How many have you converted from the inherant dangers of drugs?"
"Seven people Your Honour" replies the man.
"Well done!" Says the Judge, "How did you manage it?"
"Well," Says the man, "It was simple. I drew 2 circles on a piece of paper. One big one and one small one. Like this:" He held up a piece of paper to show the Judge.

"I simply pointed at the large circle and told them that this was your brain before you did drugs. Then I pointed at the smaller circle and told them that this was your brain after doing drugs. It seemed to work quite well."
The judge had no hesitation in letting the man go free.
The second man came into the dock and the judge repeated his question from before.
"How many have you converted from the inherant dangers of drugs?"
Looking him straight in the eye the second man replied "53 Your Honour."
"I'm flabberghasted" said the judge. "How is this possible?"
"Well," Says the man, "It was simple. I drew 2 circles on a piece of paper. One big one and one small one. Like this:" He held up a piece of paper to show the Judge.

"I simply pointed at the small circle and told them that this was the size of your a s s h o l e before you went to prison.................."
The second man walked free.
