Chain of causality: one of my cow-orkers was bitten by a dog (not seriously) which led to a discussion of The People’s Court (which, when I was watching it, seemed to be dominated by dog and dog-bite cases), which led to a discussion of Judge Marilyn Milan, which in turn led us inevitably to Wapner and Rusty the bailiff.
From the Wikipedia entry on The People’s Court:
Patty Hearst, Chessman, Manson and the Onion Field? Rusty must have had some great stories to tell.
