Narrator: During a brief recess some new facts have been brought to the court's attention regarding Boberto and his 50% recovery fee. A member of the jury submits Bob actually helped him without the 50% fee, and although Boberto is not on trial here the court does recognize this as indeed a noble act and has had all references regarding Boberto grabbing the money be stricken from the court transcripts. BM1 aka David1 is still on the stand.
Baliff: All rise. The Honorable Omnivorous Frog resides in the offshore FROG court of dispute.
OF: Be seated. Now Boberto, where were we?
Bob: My client is obviously confused and voluntarily submits to a polygraph test.
OF: Boberto, poligraphs are inadmissable in any court as unreliable, even in my kangaroo, I mean FROG court. However we do have another tool, a lieometer. It has bells and whistles. Will that suffice Boberto?
Bob: Yes your honor, the lieometer will work.
BM1: I didn't make the bets.
OF: Let us hook the lieometer up first. Baliff, put one alligator clip on Mr. Minuteman's ear, the other on his scrotum. OK Baliff, power on the lieometer.
BZZZZ. The lieometer works by sensing twitching of the ears and sweat on the nutsack when bs is being produced.
OF: We have tapes of you placing these bets, Barnum, did you indeed make these disputed bets?
BM1: Err, uh, no.
Ding, ding, ding. Bells sound.
OF: Is that your voice on the tapes David1?
BM1: Err, duh, maybe.
A loud whistle eminates from the lieometer.
OF: This is getting us nowhere fast Boberto. Let us end the lieometer. Baliff remove the lieometer from Barnum Minuteman.
BM1: Ahhhhh! As the baliff rips the clips off.
OF: Baliff, let us listen to the tapes.
Baliff: The tapes, they are missing.
OF: You lost my tapes?
Baliff: No your honor, they are in another thread.
OF: I see, well we will have to move on without them. If any members of the jury wish to hear the tapes please go to the other thread.
Narrator: There is a loud commotion outside as Royal's entourage arrives at FROG court. There is a large stretch limo and a black suburban with limo tint behind it. From the limo emerges RJ, KK and tej, wearing a full length mink coat and a diamond ring on each finger. Exiting the suburban is the legal dream team, I recognize star attorney F. Lee Froggy, and the other 4 thuggish looking characters look like defensive linemen in the NFL. The Royal management enters the courtroom, but wait, a problem at the metal detectors. Beep Beep. The four big guys all have guns in their waistbands. This will not work in the FROG courtroom, and only F. Lee is admitted.
F.Lee: Your honor, I motion you step down on the account you had a cigar and glass of wine during recess.
OF: Motion denied, I always do that.
F.Lee: your honor, I submit my clients cannot get a fair trial as you were also slow paid by Royal.
OF: Approach the bench F. Lee. My fellow judges are all former members of Pyramid sports. Would you prefer I step down and have one of them preside.
F. Lee: Yikes! No thank You, you are the perfect judge to preside in the hearing.
OF: That is what I thought, you may call your first witness.
Baliff: Will Devon Ding please take the stand, KK for short.
Narrator: Sworn in on the racing form, KK takes the stand.
F. Lee: Devon, did David, I mean Barnum Minuteman place bets with his remaining balance that was supposedly being paid to him, albeit, extremely slow.
KK: He most certainly did.
OF: Would you be willing to submit to the lieometer?
KK: Well, I have a condition, my nads are always sweating.
OF: Well then you are excused from the lieometer. Boberto, would care to cross examine the witness?
Bob: Yes I would your honor. Devon, you agreed to supply the court a copy of the tapes.
KK: The tapes were in route, but they became lost in transit, and my dog ate the tracking number.
Bob: I see, well do you have any knowledge of this letter, gentlemen of the jury, let this be marked exhibit A. The Royal apology letter. This letter states you were indeed slow paying, and would reimburse the claimant in full.
KK: Obviously that is a forgery, and has no signature either. Everyone from Royal signs their letters, it is an fake letter, probably produced by David1.
F Lee: Objection. My clients apologize to no one.
OF: Sustained. The unsigned letter cannot be used as evidence. Boberto do you have any more questions for KK? No, you may step down.
Bailiff: Will Barnum Minuteman please return to the stand.
BM1: I didn't make the bets.
OF: No one has asked you anything yet.
F. Lee: You failed the lieometer, is that your voice on the tapes?
BM1: Err, uh, Maybe.
Bob: You idiot, I told you to say it wasn't your voice, they were not your bets, how many times did we rehearse this?
F. Lee: Objection, the witness is being led.
OF: Sustained. Boberto, please refrain from coaching your client on the witness stand.
F. Lee: Answer the question, is that your voice?
BM1: I don't know, I made hundreds of bets there.
OF: Mr. Minuteman, we need some direct answers out of you, or this entire case will be thrown out of FROG court.
BM1: I didn't make the bets.
OF: This is not working, leave the stand Barnum.
BM1: Those tapes are fakes. I never lose.
To be continued: next episode tej and rj take the stand.
Best Wishes...OF:howdy:
