This is from an actual trial in the UK:
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 third move he burst out laughing.
She had him arrested. Then the case came before the court, the young
man was asked why he acted in such a manner. His reply was:
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'. I was even more amused when she sat under a shaving
advertisement, which read:'William's Stick Did The Trick'.
Then I could not control myself any longer when on the third move
she sat under an advertisement, which read: 'Dunlop Rubber would have
prevented this accident.'
The case was dismissed.
