ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659---CASE OF THE PREGNANT LADY

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus She noticed the man opposite

her was smiling at her.


She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a

grin, so she moved again.


The man seemed more amused When on the fourth move, the man burst out

laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.


The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old)

what he had to say for himself. The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was

like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her

condition. She sat down under a sign that said,

'The Double Mint Twins are Coming' and I grinned." "Then she moved and sat

under a sign that said, 'Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling', and I

had to smile." "Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said,

"William's Big Stick Did the Trick," and I

could hardly contain myself." "BUT, your Honor, when She moved the fourth

time and sat under a sign that said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented

this Accident'... I just lost it "

"CASE DISMISSED"








Love This Comeback


One of my sons serves in the Military. He is still stateside, in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his Troops, everywhere he goes,

telling me how people shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and fight, for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also.


But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha.


He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock.


The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said Proudly, " Yes, I always wear it and probably always will."


The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she

was Iraqi. A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's

shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman:


"Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It

is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be

there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how

to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back

to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid."
