"I now call Mickey Mouse..."
You must have seen this one - Due to a "clerical error", an Italian court summoned Mickey Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck, and Tweety to a counterfeiting trial. They were unable to attend, and their lawyer (Cristina Ravelli) expressed the hope that they wouldn't be prosecuted for not turning up.
Clerical error? I wonder what really happened. Maybe they just thought it was a Mafia trial, with Mickey the Mouse, Donald the Duck, etc. I really hope, though, that someone did it for a bet - for the amount of entertainment they've given people round the world, they've earned it.
So If you were that court clerk and there was a tenner riding on it, who would you pick? My choices wouldn't be cartoon characters, but the following are all well-known for great courtroom performances:
- Mason, Peregrine - This would be risky. One might expect sober court officials not to watch cartoons, but they'd surely have heard of Mr Mason. So this would be worth double the bet, I reckon.
- Stewart, James - Also a warrant for a pair of women's panties that he has in his posession, and which are required as the crucial evidence that will mark the turning point of the case.
- West, Mae - Needs no preparation or introduction. Just stick her in front of an audience and enjoy!
When that notorious serial offender Jean Knee is finally brought to justice, we can expect several aggrieved My Little Ponies to be called as prosecution witnesses. And that will not be due to any clericial error, or wager.
I only hope that they give her a life sentence. To be suspended as long as she keeps blogging.

Luckily Ms. Jean Knee has hired me to defend her. As long as they have a massive supply of coffee, we're good!
Speaking of...
Ha, I never have trusted that shifty eyed criminal element Donald Duck. He tries to hide what he's saying behind that lisping splutter speech he has.
I have never been formally charged with a crime other than speeding... they'll never get me(after I pay the fine of course)
how do you pronounce the name Peregrine? I thought that was a type of wine
aren't all of those actors dead?
oh right, if you can call mickey to the stand why not them
god doesn't like to mess around with our pitiful going ons --obviously it would seem
I think I meant goings on---that may not even be an expression, have any of you noticed your spelling and communicating skills degrading since you've been blogging? is it just me?
I really used to be able to spell and turn a decent phrase-sorta
jean knee, I think you do just fine! Plus we've learned to mis-spell words to sound how we say them so iz awl goooovy!
BTW Brian, "Mickey the Mouse, Donald the Duck" HAHAHAHA!
Mickey the Mouse:
He never said a wurd and you never knew he was there. When you finally realized he was behind you... it was too late!
Donald the Duck:
He was always the plant, see, we sent him to infiltrate the CIA and never thought he'd make it out alive. He was a sitting duck.
Bee:
Sounds like you'll be taking Perry Mason's part in Jean Knee's courtroom drama.
Jean Knee:
I wouldn't worry about your grammatical transgressions - it's not a capital offence, even in Texas (is it?)
I believe if you look in the Bible, that God chooses Bishops. I don't know about lesser vicars, and it might be in the Church of England that He delegates this to someone like the Queen and/or Prime Minister.
the bible's worse than wikipedia, nothing in there can be verified
but, how do you pronounce Peregrine?
eh, never mind. upon further reflection I really don't care enough, sorry Mr.Mason
the people next door just had thousands of dollars of grass delivered, dang those guys are living large
Jean Knee:
Sorry - I went to the pub at lunchtime, and the rest of the day has been somewhat confused. I'm just about to go (back) to bed.
Peregrine is like the falcon
"Perr eh grin"
I don't even know if that's what Perry is supposed to be short for in PM's name.
Grass:
I presume you mean the kind you use to decorate your garden?
it's a yard over here and yes
it's a yard over here and yes
I hadn't realised that you didn't have gardens. Another transatlantic difference.
Yards here don't contain grass. They may contain junk, they may be covered in concrete, but never grass. Prisoners may exercise in them. I'm not sure where Scotland Yard gets its name (since it's not a yard and it's not in Scotland).
