rifleman 70 #13 January 7, 2014 Reminds me of a couple I met in the Army many years ago. We were on exercise on Salisbury Plain and during the course of a night march we happened across a man and a woman (both completely naked) trying to hide in some bushes. My oppo, a man with a twisted sense of humour and a grade A pervert to boot, promptly digs through his backpack for a couple of towels and (somehow) manages to give him a towel the size of a football field while she got a small hand towel that covered top or bottom, but not both at he same time. It turned out that they'd driven out there after dark (missing the red flags denoting an exercise in progress), parked up, got naked and, after putting their clothes in the back of the car, wandered off into the bushes for a little al fresco fun. The problem was that, while they were otherwise engaged, their little car (an original Mini) rather unwisely decided to pick a fight with a 62 tonne Challenger 1 tank. The outcome of this altercation went very badly for the Mini while the driver of the tank probably never even felt the bump. We arranged for transport to come out and pick them up and while we were waiting for the truck to arrive we were trying to console the driver by telling him that the Army's insurance would probably cover the cost of replacing the car. He said that it wasn't his car but that it belonged to his wife. We said that surely his wife would understand as she'd been with him at the time. Guess what? He said that the woman with him wasn't his wife. OOPSY.Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #14 January 7, 2014 Few years back I had a client get sued by a motorcyclist who had come off his bike outside the entrance to my client's farm. The guy had slid into a sign which said something like "slow - tractors" or some such and injured himself pretty badly. He was claiming that there was mud on the road and that it was negligent to have a warning sign on the verge. I wasn't particularly concerned as immediately before coming off his bike he had passed a cyclist at high speed who turned out to be an off-duty police officer. The officer, a police motorcyclist himself, had already produced a quick note of his recollection saying there was absolutely no mud on the road and that the guy had just lost control by going round the bend far too fast. Overall I wasn't that concerned that my client would be found liable but figured that as they knew we had the cop and they were still suing anyway it would all end up at trial in 6-9 months time and waste everyone a lot of time and money. Until, that was, a full witness statement came in from the off duty cop. Seems he, being a cop, had been the first responder and gone over to help the injured motorcyclist. First thing the guy said was "there's a pack of condoms in my jacket pocket - can you take them out and dispose of them for me as my wife doesn't know I've been off visiting my girlfriend". Well, it's not for me to tell an independent witness what to say so I duly unilaterally disclosed the statement and would you believe it, chump on the bike no longer wanted to bother with all the fuss.
