Claude Dancer: “When I was overseas during the war, Your Honor, I learned a French word. I’m afraid that might be slightly suggestive.”
Judge Weaver: “Most French words are.”
Hmmm?
If he were still alive, ax his wife if banging a street slut is the same as eating a meal or taking a shower.
Perhaps down thread it comes out, but I bet it was the wife that brought the action.
So, did his wife or the side piece get the money?
Only in France, until, that is, the leftards here find out about it, then there’ll be a full court push for every deviant act to be insured, driving up our already sky high insurance rates.
