Stripping in court: This really happened (Part Two)

NOT ME. I DID NOT STRIP IN COURT.

Now that I cleared that up, I can explain what exactly happened in court this morning.

Despite the judge granting my motion last week (a motion to dismiss, nonetheless, so the case was dismissed), Judge refused to strike the trial date set for this morning. Therefore, I had to appear in court.

Of course, my pro se opponent appeared as well. This is how it went down.

FA: "Good morning your honor, F.A. on behalf of the Defendant."
Judge (J): (Looking at Pro se) "You were not hear on Thursday and I dismissed your case."
Pro se (PS):  "I know, and I'm sorry for that, Judge. You see, last week, I had heart surgery."
J: "You had whaaa?"
PS: "HEART surgery...SEEE"

At this moment, PS begins to unbutton his shirt to show the judge his surgical proof.

J: "I DON'T NEED TO SEE THAT. STOP UNBUTTONING YOUR SHIRT."

:::Silence:::

PS: "I have a doctor's note too."

LUCKY for me, Judge stood on the previous ruling.

Pro se: 0, Fabulously Awkward: 67.

OK, I might not have triumphed SIXTY-SEVEN times over pro se litigants, however I have triumphed over quite a few.
