Right hand and left hand

The Texas Quote of the Day:
"Hell, Judge ... I've got that much in my right-hand pocket."

"Then look in your left-hand pocket and see if you can find two years in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth."

----- Exchange between Galveston bootlegger John Nounes and Judge Joseph Hutcheson after the judge fined Nounes $5,000 in May, 1926
