From a case i have to read for Contracts:
The issue is, what is chicken? Plaintiff says 'chicken' means a young chicken, suitable for broiling and frying. Defendant says 'chicken' means any bird of that genus that meets contract specifications on weight and quality, including what it calls 'stewing chicken' and plaintiff pejoratively terms 'fowl'. Dictionaries give both meanings, as well as some others not relevant here. To support its interpretation, plaintiff sends a number of volleys over the net; defendant essays to return them and adds a few serves of its own.
It's good to know there are judges out there with a sense of humor.

one of my friend's moms used to proof court transcripts. she liked to share the funny ones. anything involving a person named mr. derryberry was certainly shared. but one funny typo was missing the word "with" in the sentence. see if you can spot where it goes: "mr. smith was mr. derryberry's wife at the time."
