Return of the Friday Funny

By Christopher Annunziata

ADVERTISEMENTS

I have a few small Funnies today. Mostly legal related (barely):

He Couldn’t Afford Better Beer then Natural Light?

The 17 year old great-grandson of Gussie Busch - founder of the Anheuser-Busch beer empire - was busted with several of his buddies for underage drinking. Their beer of choice? The rot-gut Natural Light. Really? He couldn’t get anything better than that? I think I used a keg of that to water my lawn last year because of drought restrictions.

If they don’t cash it, I hope they recycle it.

Yahoo news reports that an upstate New York man tried to settle his $2,509.66 water bill with a check written on floral print, two-ply toilet paper Wednesday. Binghamton city officials refused to accept the check. The man says he is appealing the judgment against him in small claims court. He may have a point. Just about the ONLY thing I recall from studying Commercial Paper/Negotiable instruments for the bar is that a check can be written on any paper, as long as it meets certain minimum requirements, like a check number, date, amount, signature, and account and routing numbers. This ridiculous novelty checks they hand to Jerry Lewis every Labor Day can be cashed. Why not TP?

He definitely gets Style Points for his confession.

A London based website reports that a teenage boy walked into a local courthouse and announced that he had just stabbed a gang rival who was due to appear before the bench. CCTV apparently shows him walking into the court shortly before his shocking announcement.

The real question is who was more foolish? The 16 year old boy for confessing or the various adults, bailiffs, lawyers and court officers for allowing the boy to bolt from the courtroom, leave the building and get away on a bicycle?
