IJMC - The Wonderful World of Innuendo
For a while now I've avoided sending explicit texts over the IJMC since a
few parents complained their children see these texts. First off, I would
prefer the parents maintain their responsibility in raising their
children. Yet it is easy for me to do given the number of submissions I
do receive. Tonight post however, is so filled with innuendo and
double-talk that I'm not at all worried about children reading it. If
they understand it, they already knew what it was talking about, and if
they don't understand it, well, darn. So, with that out of the way, read
on and enjoy another discussion from a courtroom. -dave
One evening after attending the theatre, two cowboys were walking down
the avenue when they observed a rather well-dressed and attractive lady
just ahead of them. One of them turned to the other and remarked, "I'd
give $50 to spend the night with that woman." To their surprise, the
young lady overheard the remark and, turning around, said, "I'll take
you up on that." She had a neat appearance and a pleasant voice so after
bidding his companion adieu, the man accompanied the lady to her
apartment where they immediately went to bed.
The following morning he presented her with $25 as he prepared to go.
She demanded the rest of the money, stating, "If you don't give me the
rest of the $50, I'll sue you for it." He laughed, "I'd like to see you
get it on these grounds." The next day he was surprised when he received
a summons ordering his appearance in court. The defendant's lawyer said,
"She can't possibly get a judgment against you on such grounds, but it
will be interesting to see how her case will be presented after the
usual preliminaries." The lady's lawyer addressed the court as follows:
"Your Honor, my client, this lady, is the owner of a
piece of property, a colorful garden spot with ideal
temperatures, conditions for social activity surrounded
by a profuse growth of shrubbery, which property she
agreed to rent to the defendant for a specified length
of time for the sum of $50. The defendant took
possession of the property, used it extensively for the
purpose for which it was rented, but on vacating the
premises he paid her only $25, one half of the amount
agreed upon. The rent was not expensive, but it was
restricted property in a private zone, and we ask
judgment to be granted against the defendant to assure
payment of the balance."
The defendant's lawyer was impressed and amused at the way his opponent
had prepared and presented the case. His defense, therefore, was
somewhat altered from the way he had originally planned to present it.
"Your Honor," he said, "my client agrees that the young
lady had a fine piece of property, that he did rent the
property for a time, and a degree of pleasure was
received from the transaction; however, my client found
a well on the property around which he placed his own
stones, sunk a shaft, erected a pump, and initiated
pumping operations personally performed by him, which
produced results mutually beneficial. We claim these
improvements to the property and the mutual benefit
resulting adequately compensate for the rental of said
property. We will, therefore, ask the judgment not be
granted."
Then the young lady's lawyer came back:
"Your Honor, my client agrees that the defendant did
find a well on her property, that he did make
improvements, and did produce favorable results such as
my opponent describes; however, had the defendant not
known the well existed, he would never have rented the
property. Also, upon vacating the premises the
defendant removed his stones, pulled out the shaft, and
took his pump with him. In doing so, he not only
dragged his equipment through the shrubbery, but also
left the hole much larger than it was prior to his
occupancy, requiring extensive mop up operations and
making it easily accessible to little children. We
therefore ask judgment be granted."
AND SHE GOT IT!
