Watching the 6th Sense in the theatre and it got to the point where Bruce is sat at the table and his wife appears to be ignoring him and a wee Glaswegian voice piped up from the back in a moment of brilliant realisation "Tha cunts deid, Mary." Presumably to his wife. I nearly died laughing.
I used to think Loving v Virginia was the greatest name for a legal case ever, but a new challenger has emerged
