Greatest Over-in-One Fark Thread Ever

[jamesq]

The Fark headline:

Judge won't let a man acquitted of rape charges legally change his name to The Count of Monte Cristo

The story? Guy want's to change his name to Edmond Dantes. Judge won't let him because he's a convicted felon and that's a routine reason for denying someone a name-change. They need to be able to attach you to your crimes in case you reoffend.
So yeah, serious part over, then the comment thread began. First post?

What a Dumas.

I laughed and laughed and laughed!

Anyway, just a bit of silliness for the middle of your day.

Thanks, you just reminded me of one of my favourite scenes in Shawshank Redemption - when they are sorting the books for the library.

I laughed. I also have a cold, so it threw me into coughing fits. Ow.

Bastard...

I could go over to your house and tell jokes until you passed out. This would amuse me. Unfortunately it would expose me to micro-organisms.
