"We cannot confirm or deny..."

Senator A says to Senator B, "Hey, I'll bet you a chit that you can't get Senator C to admit his opinion on anything."

Senator B, a renowned plaintiff's attorney, says "Are you kidding? This will be easy, and I'm going to collect on that chit next time I need some pork for back home."

So, Senator B strolls up to Senator C and says, "There's been some serious debate surfacing over whether the sun is going to rise in the east tomorrow. What do you think about this insanity?"

Senator C looks Senator B squarely in the eyes and says, "I never wake up until well after dawn; so I don't have much of an opinion on the matter."
