Two women brought a case before Solomon the Wise. They had with them a baby, and each woman claimed that the baby was hers.
Solomon the Wise looked at the women, and said that the only fair thing to do was to cut the baby in two and give each woman half.
"OK," said one of the women.
"Sounds good to me," said the other.
"Shit," said Solomon, whose reputation for wisdom may perhaps have been overstated.
