23 Sep 2004 Whinny, Your Honor

A justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has rendered a dissent in the form of a song set to the tune of the jingle from the “Mr. Ed” TV show.

Fittingly, the case was over whether one could be charged with drunken driving for being inebriated while on horseback. The original Mr. Ed character was, according to TV Land, a “hard-drinking equine.”

Frankly, it sounds to me as if the justice was a little soused himself.
