A woman who was about eight months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed that the young man sitting opposite her was smiling at her, so she immediately moved to another seat.

This time, his smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed even more amused.

When she moved for the fourth time and the man burst out laughing, she complained to the bus driver, who had the man arrested.

The case eventually went to court. The judge asked the young man, who was about 20 years old, what he had to say for himself.

The man replied:

"Well, Your Honor, here's what happened.

When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice she was pregnant. She sat under a sweets advertisement that said, 'The Double Mint Twins Are Coming,' so I grinned.

Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, 'Logan's Liniment Will Reduce the Swelling,' and I had to smile.

Then she moved again and sat under a deodorant advertisement that said, 'William's Big Stick Did the Trick,' and I could hardly contain myself.

BUT, Your Honor, when she moved for the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, 'Goodyear Rubber Could Have Prevented This Accident'... I just lost it!"

The judge paused for a moment, then announced:

"CASE DISMISSED!!"
