Here is a true story about my great grandfather in a case laughed out of court.

You have to read this story with an Italian accent in your head, that is how I heard it several times at big family dinners from my grandfather.I tried to google the story so i could be more accurate, but it is not really necessary. So, about almost a hundred years ago, my great-grandfather, who was a butcher from Italy had moved here to a tiny town on the Central Coast called Guadalupe. He opened up a large slaughter house that served the whole central coast almost all of their meats. There was this inspector who didn't like my GG because he was a successful Italian and would always go into the slaughter house and point out and write up everything that he felt was wrong. I remember my GG and he was almost OCD about cleanliness and order and organization, so I find it hard to believe he would have anything to be written up on. Anyway, my GG was slaughtering a cow when the inspector arrived, so he cut the utter off of a cow and unzipped his pants and stuck it in to let it hang out and then put his apron down and went about slaughtering the cow. The inspector came in pointing out everything that was wrong ranting and raving throwing his hands in the air and my GG pulled up his apron to wipe his hands and the inspector in the middle of his "loud crap talking" pointed to my GG and said " And look at you, your thing is hanging out!!!" So, my GG looked down, pulled up his butcher knife and said " Oh that thing again" and cut if off on the butcher block with the butcher knife. The inspector was so shocked that he stumbled back and fell and hit his head on a block and got a pretty big gash. So, he tried to sue my GG and his company. It first went to the local court here, and then to the big County court in Santa Barbara, Ca where everytime the story was told the jury couldn't contain their laughter and even the judges were amused and laughing. It did go to court several times with the same result of being dismissed. My GG never got sued by this guy and he (not my GG) retired soon after.

I forgot to tell you that this case went as far as LA and was still dismissed due to the fact that it kept getting laughed out.

"Oh, thadda thing again"...I can just hear him with a nice Italian accent, then picture him causally chopping it off. The look of horror on the inspectors face would have been priceless! Thanks for the smile.
