This is from an actual trial in the UK:

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 third move he burst out laughing.  
She had him arrested. Then the case came before the court, the young  
man was asked why he acted in such a manner. His reply was:  
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’. 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 when on the third move  
she sat under an advertisement, which read: ‘Dunlop Rubber would have  
prevented this accident.’

The case was dismissed.
