ONLY IN MERRY OLDE ENGLAND (actual trial)
A young woman who was several months pregnant boarded a bus. When she
noticed a young man smiling at her she began feeling humiliated on
account of her condition. She changed her seat and he seemed more
amused. She moved again and then on her fourth move he burst out
laughing. She had him arrested.
When the case came before the court, the young man was as asked why he acted
in such a manner. His reply was:
When the lady boarded the bus I couldn't help noticing she was
pregnant. She sat under an advertisement which read "Coming Soon The
Gold Dust Twins", then she moved under one that read "Sloans Liniments
remove Swelling". I was even more amused when she sat under a shaving
advertisement which read "William Stick Did The Trick". Then I could
not control myself any longer when on the fourth move she sat under an
advertisement which read "Dunlop Rubber would have prevented this
accident."
He won the case.
