A man and his young wife were in divorce court，but the custody of their children posed a problem. The mother leaped to her feet and protested to the judge that she brought the children into this world，she should retain custody of them. The man also wanted custody of his children，so the judge asked for his justification. After a long silence，the man slowly rose from his chair and replied，“Your Honor，when I put a dollar in a vending machine and a Pepsi comes out，does the Pepsi belong to me or the machine？”

一个男子和他年轻的妻子到法院去打离婚，两人在孩子的监护权上出现了分歧。母亲暴跳如雷，对法官抗议说是她把孩子带到了这个世界上，因此她应该拥有孩子的监护权。而父亲也希望拥有孩子的监护权，于是法官请他提出理由。他想了好一会儿，慢慢从椅子上站起来说：“尊敬的法官大人，当我把一美元丢进自动售货机后，一罐百事可乐就会出来，您觉得这罐可乐应该属于我还是那台售货机呢？”
