IJMC Actual Trial?

                         IJMC - Actual Trial?

The wonderful thing about the Internet: it's difficult to tell whether
something is true or fiction. Especially if it says "actual trial" or 
appears to be a Reuters or AP wire...but, that doesn't make these 
fictions or urban legends any less interesting. So, read on and enjoy. 
And if you're American, have a safe and fun Fourth!              -dave





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 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 "Sloan's
Liniment Removes Swelling."  I was even more amused when she sat
under a shaving advertisement which read "Williams 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.
