WOW!

Here's how I can imagine it would go Ron.

RON: "Yes, Your Honor, I'm afraid I am responsible for that fire. But it was an accident."

JUDGE: "You were in a dry forested area and started a fire. How could it be an accident? Sounds like negligence to me. What did you do - let a camp fire get out of control, carelessly discard a cigarette, carelessly tossed a match, something like that?"

RON: "No Your Honor, it wasn't anything like that. I wasn't being careless or negligent in any way."

JUDGE: "Then how did this fire get started?"

RON: "With water, Your Honor."

JUDGE: "With water?"

RON: "Yes Your Honor, with water. You see, I had a jug of water with me and left it on the ground. That's what started the fire."

JUDGE: "Are you telling the court that you 'accidentally' started a fire with water, and expect to court to accept that claim."

RON: "Yes Your Honor. If I hadn't put that water on the ground the fire never would have happened. I'm very sorry Your Honor."

JUDGE: "Yes, you are sorry - a sorry liar. GUILTY! Bailiff, take this sorry negligent fire starting water wizard to the hoosegow."
