Judge

The Reformation created many mighty saints inside the Christian faith: John Calvin, Martin Luther, and Ulrich Zwingli, just to name a few. Sadly, the important work of the Reformation also cost many saints their lives.

Michael Sattler was one of those men.

The iconic figure wore baggy pants, a tight coat, oversized shoes (on the wrong feet), and a derby hat. He had a signature – but fake – mustache, and carried a cane. Even his gait was recognizable to the masses who watched him perform on the first silver screen. Charlie Chaplin was recognizable to everyone.

Everyone that is, except for some judges at a Charlie Chaplin look-a-like contest.

When the witness took the stand, the judge sternly warned him by asking, “Do you understand that you have sworn to tell the truth?”

“I do,” replied the man.
