Priceless

I think it was Dennis Leary who said that one day, everyone saw a president get shot on television one day & ever since they've been afraid to change the channel.

My mother watches people's court. I don't particularly care for it, but every now & then, I look up from whatever I'm doing when it gets a bit rambunctious.

I now know why my mother watches so religiously. Sometimes you get a little nugget of gold insanity. But you have to watch. And while she watches, I sit in the background & get to pay attention when the judge starts yelling. I just saw the BEST episode of people's court EVER!!!!

One guy comes in & is unbelievably insulting to the judge, the court itself, the legality of the whole situation, & everyone in the room. He constantly interrupted & had serious anger issues. He was a mess. And the judge had him escorted from the courtroom before the end.

For the next case this guy walks in with a bright red shirt, suspenders, a beer belly, white hair, a white beard, & glasses. Simultaneously, my mother & I cheered, "Santa Clause!!" And he turned around & he's got his documents in a folder that's in the back of his suspenders. And about 3 minutes into the the case he goes, "By the way, judge, I think you're hot."

God save the lunatics. Consistent entertainment during the writer's strike.
