In France, Justice Is Not Only Blind
It probably has hairy palms. A French Judge was caught masturbating in open court. From the controversial MerdeInFrance, one of my favorite bilingual blogs.
In France, Justice Is Not Only Blind
It probably has hairy palms. A French Judge was caught masturbating in open court. From the controversial MerdeInFrance, one of my favorite bilingual blogs.
I love the euphemisms and double entendres of this article. Not just the obvious one in the title, about the French judge being handy with the penal code.
***The head judge of the city's appeals court said "a penal inquiry ordered by the prosecutor of the republic is currently being carried out by the police"***
Oh, the head judge, was he? I guess that's what the wanking judge was wanting.
Now that my mind is firmly entrenched in the gutter, I find myself wondering what could possibly be found so erotically stimulating in a courtroom that the judge just had to let himself go like that. That bare-breasted statue of Justice finally get to him? Personally, I find court rooms to be the antithesis to anything sexual. A veritable cold shower, to be sure.
Another turn of phrase I found interesting was that they say he was "caught" masturbating, making it sound like some baliff wandered behind the bench and observed the judge's robe flapping madly. But...
***According to La Charente Libre, a local newspaper who had a reporter in court at the time of the alleged offence, the magistrate had discreetly lifted up his ceremonial robe while a lawyer was presenting final arguments, undid his pants and "engaged in gestures that left nothing to the imagination". - Sapa-AFP***
Wouldn't you have to be uncannily unobservant NOT to "catch" the judge doing something like that? Why not just come out and say, "A judge interrupted court proceedings by standing up, lifting his robes, dropping his trou and spanking the monkey?"
I would love to know how someone is supposed to "discreetly" do this, by the way.

In New York, in the late 80s, a guy at the movies who sat down next to me started jerking off -- to "Legal Eagles"! I guess there's something...heady...about the legal process.

Even in her prime, Winger wasn't that exciting. It wasn't the movie, Amy.
