From an actual trial in London ...
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 for harassment and 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 "Sloan's
Liniments remove Swelling". I was even more amused when she sat
under a shaving advertisement, which read "William 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".
He won the case.
