>>>Now I know jurisprudence dictates that a man is innocent until proven guilty, but in these cases the man hasn't been named, and whoever is driving IS "the perpetrator". He's not suspected of doing it - he's just been seen doing it, no matter who he is.

>>>On the other hand, in similar British shows it always irks me when the cop is relating to camera what's happened and refers to the, say, vicious, drunken, foul-mouthed low-life as "The gentleman was seen clubbing the innocent man with a spiked baseball bat ..."

>>Maybe he was doing it gently... I guess that's what the cotton club was invented for.

Well I seen a horse fly
I seen a dragon fly
I seen a house fly

I seen all that too
I seen a peanut stand
And heard a rubber band
I seen a needle that winked its eye

But I've been, done, seen about everything
When I see a elephant fly
What'd you say boy
I said when I see a elephant fly

I seen a front porch swing
Heard a diamond ring
I seen a polka dot railroad tie

But I've been, done, seen about everything
When I see a elephant fly

I saw a clothes horse and he rear up and buck
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck
I didn't see that, I only heard
Just to be sociable I'll take your word
I heard a fireside chat
I saw a baseball bat
And I just laughed till I thought I'd die

But I've been, done, seen about everything
When I see a elephant fly
