An old mountain man from Montana and his pretty young wife were locked in a bitter divorce case, the principal bone of contention being who should have custody of the children. She maintained that because she had brought the children into the world, she ought to be granted custody. The judge listened patiently to her argument and then asked the old man why he thought he should be awarded custody of the kids. Slowly the old man rose to his feet, thought for a moment and, addressing the judge, said: "Judge, when I put a quarter in a candy machine and a candy bar comes out, who does it belong to? Me or the machine?"
