XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD That's awesome hehe, gotta love judges and their stupidity. All their brain cells got burnt earning their phD's...none left to actually make come to common sensical observations.
Haha. I am from Ohio, and that just makes me laugh. (Though it also makes me hope i never have to go to court.) Though it is true about our judges and our language. Many words aren't supposed to be used the way they are used.
Judge 1 (the folksy one): So then on the docket, we've got, heh heh, *then* we've got *The Cow Case*. Had that cow been PROPERLY SERVICED, that is what *I* want to know. Heh heh.
Judge 2 (the one who majored in English): Well, *I* really think this speaks to our conventional understanding of what a "motor" is -
Judge 3 (the one whose acid reflux is acting up): No, it doesn't.
Judge 2: Sure, sure - a motor is anything that converts energy into movement - the cow *eats grass* and *converts* it into -
Judge 1: - convert it to amblin' about, right - let's get the *dictionary* out -
Judges 2-7: *groan*
Judge 1: - I think we need the *dictionary definition* of a motor vehicle, I think - oh, see, the word "wheels" is in there! That cow have wheels, does it say?
Judge 3: ...it does not.
Judge 1: Well, seein' as there is no *indication* that the cow had any wheels on it - I want to write the opinion on this one - heh heh, wheels...
*end flashback*
Judge 2: And so that's why I surreptitiously peppered 3's omelet in the courthouse cafeteria.
*really end flashback*
This report based on *actual observations* of tired state judges. (Though the food sabotage was only discussed, never implemented. (And I think that was a law clerk, anyway.))
