Today I was switching through television channels looking to just kill some time and landed on Judge Judy. I normally am not a fan of the Judge Judy show but today I was feeling like watching some drama. Usually watching a drama type show can make me feel like my life is going pretty good.
One of the cases that was presented today in front of Judge Judy was the case of two best friend’s who drank too much and one of the friends threw a glass at the other busting a couple of his teeth including his two front teeth. Judge Judy handled the case very well. She said a few funny things to the two young gentlemen. The plaintiff was asking for $5,000 for the repairs he is going to need on his teeth.
The defendant claims that they were all drunk and his friend was dancing on a picnic table when he threw the glass. The defendant claims he was not aiming for his friend and thought that his friend was actually going to catch the glass but he didn’t. The defendant had to pay a $500 fine and thought that that fine was enough.
Of course Judge Judy disagreed and state to the defendant that balls are meant for throwing, not glasses. This was not before telling the plaintiff he has a drinking problem and his physical appearance shows it. She stated that he ought to just image what he will look like at age 50 if at age 25 he looks like he has a drinking problem. That was a valid point Judge Judge.
