On a Bus

"On a Bus"

In England from an 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 this was
the man's reply when asked why he acted in
such a manner:

"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."
