I once saw, in the Cowgate, a chap talking to the police about an assault. The victim was very drunk and abusive.

attacker said "In my defense, Officers, the plaintiff is clearly a cunt"

which I thought was a perfectly reasonable argument. The police seemed inclined to agree and ended up restraining the victim as he moved aggressively towards a not-very-dressed young lady.


not at all relevant, but amusing nonetheless
