Yes!  Get good ol' Judge "Grouchy" Wapner!  I would love to see it...

"This is the plaintiff, Apple Computer, Inc.  They claim that the defendant is
violating the look-and-feel of Apple's Macintosh computer system.  They are
sueing for $50,000 for lost profits and punitive damages."

"This is the defendant, Microsoft Corporation.  They claim that any violation
of Apple's look-and-feel is perfectly acceptable because of a 1985 license
agreement between the two companies."

"These two companies have a suit pending in a California court.  They have
agreed to drop their suit and and settle their differences in our forum:  THE
PEOPLE'S COURT!"

I can see it now...  :^)  :^)  :^)  :^)  :^)  :^)  :^)
