Court
Storyboard Text
- Guilty, you're honor. I drove to McDonalds and got a Filet O' Fish, but I had a suspended license.
- Mr. Steel, you're here for a charge on reckless driving. How do you plead?
- Does this guy want to get arrested?
- Sir, I don't see how this is relevant.
- A Filet O' Fish? Gross! Why would you choose that out of the entire McDonald's menu?
- Wait, sir. You can't do that. That goes against the U.S. constitution!
- Anyways, the maximum prison sentence for driving without a permit is 1 year, but since you ate a Filet O' Fish, I sentence you to 55 years in prison.
- Who says? I'm the judge.
- The US Constitution states, "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
- But how does that apply here?
- Putting somebody in jail for 55 years because they ate a Filet O' Fish goes against the Cruel and Unusual Punishments part.
- Well, kids. The lesson here is never eat the Filet O' Fish.
- And remember that the 8th amendment protects you from cruel punishments.
