Every once in a while you hear a story that really brightens up your day. For me, it’s usually not something inspirational or heart-warming; it’s just something goofy enough to get me thinking about interesting scenarios.
This morning, on the radio on the way into work, I hear about a funny story out of
First of all, it was a clerical error, and no characters were seriously expected to show up. But still, wouldn’t it have been great if it had gotten that far? Wouldn’t that scene in court be outright hilarious? I can only imagine what the interchange would have been:
Prosecutor: Your Honor, I would like to call my first witness: Tweety Bird.
Judge: Very well, Mr. Bird, please approach, swear in, and be seated.
[Swearing in]
Prosecutor: Mr. Bird, you are an employee of The Walt Disney Company?
Tweety: Why yeth, I am.
Prosecutor: And how long have you been an employee of that company?
Tweety: Ooh boy, 65 yearth.
Prosecutor: 65? Why, that’s quite a number of years. That’s longer than many of us in this courtroom have been alive. So for 65 years, you’ve dedicated your life to The Walt Disney Company. Do you like working there?
Tweety: Why yeth, I love it.
Prosecutor: Of course. So, Mr. Bird, what did you think when you heard about the defendant’s horrific counterfeiting scheme?
Tweety: I was vewwy angwy!
Prosecutor: And rightfully so. How much is this sort of merchandise worth to your business?
Tweety: Well, quite a lot, but it would depend on the country of origin.
Prosecutor: Let’s just focus on
Tweety: Euroth or dollarth?
Prosecutor: Euroth… I mean Euros. Sorry.
Tweety: 1942 money?
Prosecutor: No, Mr. Bird… 2007 money.
Tweety: Future money?!
Just imagine the possibilities.

The problem is that tweety bird is not a part of disney, rather, Warner Brothers I believe.
So the clerical error is even bigger than I thought! Thanks for the clarification.
