The People vs.
The One Sip of Milk
The defendant returned a carton containing approximately one tablespoon of milk to the refrigerator, arguing that it was “not technically empty.”
The verdict: guilty of breakfast obstruction
The court finds that a carton is a promise. This carton was a lie with a lid. The defendant is sentenced to buying the next carton and saying, out loud, “I knew what I was doing.”
“Technical correctness is not a breakfast.”
Fictional entertainment. No actual legal consequences.
