Red State Diaries has asked "under what conditions would you attend a court hearing with a kangaroo in your bag?" and requested answers in haiku. Would that make them koo-ku?
Federal court security officers last month got a surprise when they searched the bag of a woman entering the courthouse in Selma -- a kangaroo.
The security officers asked an attorney on her way to a hearing on a Social Security Administration appeal to put her bags on the conveyor belt so they could run them through the metal detector.
The lawyer placed the first bag on the belt but asked him not to put the other one through the machine because her "baby" was inside...it turned out to be a baby kangaroo, which the attorney said had to be fed every 20 minutes.
Note that the kanga-carrier was an attorney! How'd you like to learn that your case was continued because your attorney couldn't bring her baby kangaroo into the courtroom with her? Although the jokes do practically write themselves.
