You have to read this. (http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/miles-kington/high-court-hangups-747313.html)

Excerpt:
Counsel: Can you explain how this came about?

Chrysler: Yes. I had 40,000 coats which I needed to hang up.

Counsel: Is that true?

Chrysler: No.

Counsel: Then why did you say it?

Chrysler: To attempt to throw you off balance.

I enjoy when lawyers fail in spectacular and amusing fashion.

EDIT: There's more (http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/miles-kington/theres-no-place-like-a-hotel-747330.html).

Chrysler: And thank you from ME, m'lud. It's nice to be appreciated.

Judge: Shut up, witness.


While I think it's funny, it can't be real. What judge tells people to shut up?

Judy, of course.

That happens all the time. Trust me. Of course, Kingston's column was always a humor column, and this isn't real.

Judy, of course.

lol, ah yes. Judge Judy. I heard the other day on the radio that she is now the highest paid TV personality in the world.

I am reading it as Terry Jones as the judge, Michael Palin as the Counselor, and Eric Idle as Chrysler. Hilarious!

It would be funnier if it were real, but it was still pretty darn funny. :)

It sounds like a proposition which doesn't believe in itself.

Fantastic.

Nah, these hotel hangers are missing the key piece of the tool for that.

The scene discussing businessmen and their love of hotel life reads splendidly in Tyler Durden voice . . .
