I have a joke, but it's not court related:
One day a lonely elderly woman decides that she will by a talking parrot to keep her company. She goes to the pet store, finds a lovely bird that the owner promises is very talkative, buys him and heads home.
For hours, the bird just sits on its perch and says nothing. The woman tries to cajole it into speaking, but it won't talk. Finally she offers it a cracker if it will speak to her. It obliged.
"RRAWK, you're ****ing ugly, *****!"
The woman is aghast. She thinks she couldn't have heard it right. She entices it to speak again.
"RRAWK, you're ****ing ugly, *****!"
For the next day she tries to get the parrot to repeat after her and say something else. But it will not, and it will only repeat it over and over.
Fed up, the woman takes the bird back to the pet store and confronts the manager. She complains loudly that all the bird will do is say something terribly obscene. The manager asks to know what, so the woman asks the parrot to speak to her again.
"RRAWK, you're ****ing ugly, *****!"
The store manager apologizes profusely to the woman, explaining that the bird was in their store some time before being bought, and some employee must have taught the bird to say that awful thing.
"Ma'am, I promise you we can fix this. Give me one week, and I will train the bird not to say that. Then you can teach it to say whatever you want."
The woman leaves the bird and then returns one week later. The manager promises her the parrot won't be saying that phrase again, and she can take it home safely.
At home, the woman once again tries to entice the bird to speak. It remains silent, just staring at her. Finally, she gets exhasperated.
"Well?!" she yells at it. "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
The parrot glares at her.
"RRAWK! You know!"

Hey none of that in my thread.......
A joke instead:
quote:
Two cars are waiting at a stoplight. The light turns green, but the man in front doesn't notice it. A woman in the car behind him is watching traffic pass around them. The woman begins pounding on her steering wheel and yelling at the man to move. The man doesn't move. The woman is going ballistic inside her car, ranting and raving at the man, pounding on her steering wheel and dash.
The light turns yellow. The woman begins to blow the car horn, flips him off, and screams curses at the man. The man, hearing the commotion, looks up, sees the yellow light and accelerates through the intersection just as the light turns red. The woman is beside herself, screaming in frustration as she misses her chance to get through the intersection. As she is still in mid-rant she hears a tap on her window and looks up into the barrel of a gun held by a very serious looking policeman.
The policeman tells her to shut off her car while keeping both hands in sight. She complies, speechless at what is happening. After she shuts off the engine, the policeman orders her to exit her car with her hands up. She gets out of the car and he orders her to turn and place her hands on her car. She turns, places her hands on the car roof and quickly is cuffed and hustled into the patrol car. She is too bewildered by the chain of events to ask any questions and is driven to the police station where she is fingerprinted, photographed, searched, booked and placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approaches the cell and opens the door for her. She is escorted back to the booking desk where the original officer is waiting with her personal effects. He hands her the bag containing her things, and says, "I'm really sorry for this mistake, but you see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping that guy off, and cussing a blue streak at the car in front of you. Then I noticed the "Choose Life" license plate holder, the "What Would Jesus Do" and "Follow Me to Sunday School" bumper stickers, and the chrome plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally I assumed you had stolen the car." |
ACK!
