ONLY IN MERRY OLD 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 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.
