I was given this joke on my last work term.  I do not know who the original   
author is, though.


SIGNS...
========

A woman, seven months pregnant, got on a streetcar.  She sat opposite
a young man, who started to smile.  She moved to another seat and the
young man began to grin; feeling embarassed she changed her seat and
the young man began to chuckle.  Again she changed her seat and the
young man laughed out loud.  Slightly insulted she complained to the
conductor, who in turn had the young man arrested.

The case came up in court the next day.  The judge asked the young man
if he had anything to say.

"Well your Honor", the young man said, "it's this way:  When the lady
entered the streetcar, her condition was apparent, which in itself was
not funny.  She say under the sign 'The Goldust Twins are coming' and
I had to smile.  Then she sat under the sign 'Sloan's Liniment will
reduce the swelling' and I had to grin.  She moved again under the
sign 'William's Stick did it' and I had to chuckle.  But your honor,
when she sat under the sign 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this
accident', I simply could not control myself!"
