Carmen Miranda's Ghost is Haunting Courtroom Three

[commodorified]

Cat and I are discussing Burn Notice and the Bechdel Test:

I mean, sometimes two female characters have conversations that are about men only in the sense of "You are under arrest for the murder of John Q Goodguy ..."

Which I feel should not count against a Bechdel score.
Anyway, Miranda's a girl, right?

Actually I should look Miranda up.

Except then I'd have to let go of my indefensible but amusing mental image of a Very Stern Judge wearing a fruit hat over her robe and white wig, sometime in y'all's early judicial history ...

Having had to read the Miranda case, I totally prefer your imagery and origin story for the Miranda rights. A stern judge in a fruit hat is one of the funniest images of the week.
