Quote by Brendan F. Behan
I was court-martial in my absence, and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence.
Summary
This quote humorously alludes to a situation where someone was punished and condemned without their presence or participation. The speaker, adopting a sarcastic tone, suggests that their absence during the court-martial process was already disregarded, so they jokingly express willingness to also be executed in absentia. This quote highlights the speaker's casual dismissal of the proceedings and their perception of a lack of fairness or legitimacy in the sentencing.
