The main reason I do not like being in a courtroom or in a theatre, is the necessity to be absolutely quiet. There are times when I need to clear my throat or cough, or even to stretch my legs to prevent numbness...very uncomfortable after half an hour or so.
Sometimes, when tired, I yawn frequently and this can be a problem, a big one if like some, with a loud ‘ho hum’!
Ill. man jailed for yawning freed after 3 weeks
Thu Aug 13
JOLIET, Ill. – An Illinois judge has freed a man who had been in jail for three weeks after letting loose a loud yawn during a sentencing hearing. Thirty-three-year-old Clifton Williams of Richton Park was found in contempt of court and jailed on July 23 after yawning in Will County Judge Daniel Rozak's court. He could have been jailed for six months.
Williams was in court for his cousin's sentencing on a drug charge. A prosecutor in court at the time described the offending yawn as "loud and boisterous."
As Williams stood before the bench in shackles on Thursday, the judge gave him a short lecture. He told Williams he wasn't in custody for simply yawning but for making a sound "that was offensive to the court."
Just wondering what would have happened if someone lets out a loud fart, or a series of farts? You see, at the right moment, this can be deliberately controlled too!
