Oklahoma City Oklahoma (AP) - A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a Oklahoma City courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Oklahoma Sooners, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone

:wink:

That was so funny I forgot to laugh.

I guess it takes awhile for humor to make it's way down to Texas.

Vito, just to let you know, the next puchline will be "it was the goal line!"

I suspect that upon being released as per the will of the people, Barabbas bolted from any where near a cross.
just sayin

Damn Vito nice 2 decade old joke you have there :roll:

I'm surprised the judge didn't let the kid live with the South Carolina Glass Cocks.

I'm sure that, in a few years, Mack Brown will recruit the kid and have him start over the reigning conference Offensive Player of the Year too...

Yes it is old but a classic nonetheless. Kinda like the JIm Rome on the aggies thread that has reached mythic proportions. Which thread actually never even made its way to Rome but was done by some guy on hornfans.com.
