Cop: "What are you doing?" Hitch:"Who wants to know?"
by namronatsoc

Inspired by an essay by Christopher Hitchens, Slate.com July 27, 2009

Policeman: "What are you doing?"

Citizen: "Who wants to know?"

Policeman: "Where do you live?"

Citizen: "None of your business."

Policeman: "What's under your jacket?"

Citizen: "What's your probable cause for asking?"

Policeman: “How can I know if you are an intruder or burglar, or not?”

Citizen: "You can't know that. It's for me to know and for you to find out.”

Policeman: “What if I want to find out right now?”

Citizen: “I hope you can come up with probable cause."

Chris, you the man!
