A Surprise Development in Georgie's Royal Court Case . . .
There’s been a Highly Pleasant Development in my Royal Court Case with the Snark Brothers.
I was right in the middle of making my Opening Arguments. Narville Snark and his lawyer, S.O.Bee were sitting at the Opposing Table, just kinda glaring at me, when all of a sudden a Guard Bee burst into the Royal Court Chambers and buzzed something in the Royal Judge’s antenna. Then he gave her a thick envelope.
Immediately, she opened the envelope and read what was inside, then she banged her gavel on her desk-thingy and buzzed in a very loud voice: “Quiet please!” (which was weird, since nobody was making any noise.)
“It has just been brought to my attention that Her Royal Majesty, The Queen, has just issued a Decree, which I now hold in my wing, and which has great bearing on this Case.”
Then she read the Decree:
“WHEREAS it has come to Our Attention that a new Product has recently been made available for sale and use within the Hive, and,
WHEREAS the Product in question, Amalgamated Paper Spoons, manufactured and distributed by the Amalgamated Paper Spoon Company, has been shown to bee Toxic and present a significant danger to the well-beeing of the Hive or anybody residing within a 200-Kilometre Radius of these Paper Spoons, and,
WHEREAS it is Our Priority to assure the safety and well-beeing of the Hive,
I HEREBY DECREE that, effective immediately, any and all Product(s) manufactured and/or distributed by the Amalgamated Paper Spoon Company are HEREBY BANNED, and that any Product(s) from the Aforementioned Company shall bee promptly disposed of in a Safe and Proper Manner, as described in Hive Environmental Safety Directives 119352 and 119387.
This Decree is final and may not bee appealed.
Signed,
Her Royal Highness
Queen Bee”
After she read the Decree everybody just kinda looked at each other and started buzzing, “What can this mean??”
(Narville Snark just looked upset and didn’t say anything.)
The Judge banged her gavel again and said, “Quiet in the Royal Court! Beecause it appears the product that lies at the Root of this Case has been deemed to bee Contraband, I hereby rule that the Snark Brothers and their Subsidiary Companies no longer have standing in this Case. Case dismissed!”
Then I heard her say, “I need a Nectartini,” and she left.
And so did everybody else.
So now, I’m back home, trying to figure out how to dispose of all those Amalgamated Paper Spoons I have in storage.
I’ll probably hafta put a call into Biohazards ‘R Us and arrange to have them deal with all those things.
So I’m gonna go do that.
Okay then. I hope everybody has a sparklingly sublime weekend!
I’ll see ya’ on Monday!
