Humorous crime

Since when was having a sense of humor a crime!

In England from an actual trial:

A young woman who was several months pregnant boarded a bus.  When she noticed a young man smiling at her she began feeling humiliated on account of her condition.  She changed her seat and he seemed more amused.  She moved again and then on her fourth move he burst out laughing.  She had him arrested.

When the case came before the court this was the man's reply when asked why he acted in such a manner: 

"When the lady boarded the bus I couldn't help noticing she was pregnant. She sat under an advertisement which read "Coming Soon:  the Gold Dust Twins", then she moved under one that read "Sloans Liniments remove Swelling".  I was even more amused when she sat under a shaving advertisement which read "William's Stick Did The Trick". Then I could not control myself any longer on the fourth move when she sat under an advertisement which read "Dunlop Rubber would have prevented the accident."

He won the case.
