Lunchtime Quickie: Quotable Quotes from The Judge Judy Show

by Kelly O • Feb 25, 2010 at 12:05 pm

Sometimes, BAM! There it is: The Meaning of Life™ - neatly summed up on daytime television - at the end of an episode of Judge Judy. Not sure which is more true, the fact that "smashing things OUTSIDE" is "art", or that "even if a guy is crazy [and killed your pet cat], he's not a bad friend... usually."

The Stranger depends on your continuing support to provide articles like this one. In return, we pledge our ongoing commitment to truthful, progressive journalism and serving our community. So if you’re able, please consider a small recurring contribution. Thank you—you are appreciated!
