Look Up Before You Sit Down
Posted by Gordon Woolley placed in on the net
A young woman who was several months pregnant boarded
a bus. Then 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.
Then 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's 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."
The case was dismissed
