A
young woman was appearing in court to face
a public disorder charge. The
charges were read out, and she was
asked how she pleaded. “Not

act of
gross indecency with a one-legged dwarf – who was waving a
union jack – on
the roof of a car, whilst travelling at over 100mph
through the center
of London, in a blizzard?”

The woman
composed herself, looked straight at the prosecution council
and calmly
said: “What was the date again?”
