Being a man of the world, Guru was shocked to hear that a high court judge had been kicked out of court over an inappropriate remark about something as insignificant as a rug.
While understanding how certain people might be offended, Yours Truly found it hard to understand why a comment about a hair-piece would cause such alarm.
Many people have concerns about hair loss – although clearly Guru is not one of them, not having seen any follicular movement on his bonce for some years now – so it seemed that further investigation was required.
It turned out the judge in question had not commented on someone’s inappropriate wig, but on a sheikh’s lack of a magic carpet.
Apparently, he made a ‘racist’ comment during a divorce hearing, suggesting that an arab gentleman could depart the UK on his flying carpet.
Being a firm supporter of all things judgmental – and this was clearly a case of judge mentalism – Yours Truly wonders whether the powers that be have been a little too harsh. After all, this is man who clearly believes the Tales of Aladdin to be true.
No doubt he also believes that the tooth fairy exists and that there is currently a recruitment campaign going on in Lapland for little fellows in green tunics who are a bit handy with wood.
Having just returned from a fact-finding mission to an entirely different ‘Lapland’ where the folks also very hands-on ‘with wood’, Guru can confirm that the judge knows what he is talking about, as many of the bewigged and suspender-wearing gents who were there will no doubt confirm.
