Gheroghe Stirbu: "Gheroghe Stirbu".
J: "And why are you in my court, G. Can I call you G?"
G: "Sure. Easier to say than Gheroghe. Or Stirbu, for that matter. Besides, the hugely popular butler on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was always called G by Will Smith's character."
J: Good point. I ask again, why are you in my court?
G: Well, it is a long and sad story. Basically, a year ago I was declared dead by the records office, and...
J: What happened? Car accident? Botched operation?
G: Well, no, sir, I never actually died. Another guy did, but I have always been healthy.
J: Then why did they declare you dead?
G: I don't know, it was just a mix-up. I would like to be called living again. Makes life so much easier, you know, when you are able to have heat and electricity and so forth.
J: I imagine it would be though, never having been dead myself, I have never had that problem,
G: I have never been dead, either.
J: Well did you tell the records people?
G: Yes, but they wouldn't believe me. Wouldn't talk to me because I was dead.
J: Then why are you bothering me?
G (exasperated): But I wasn't dead. I am not dead now. I am alive, and I am suing them to make them give me back living status.
J: Sounds reasonable to me. Pay 500 dollars court cost and you will be alive again.
Dare I say it? Charging a guy court costs to prove he is alive is...oh, this is going to be brutally bad...wait for it...DEAD WRONG.
