Upon arrival, he was attacked and beaten.<BR/><BR/>Bruised and bleeding, Eliezer took his attackers to the city court. However, after hearing the facts, the Sodomite judge ruled in favor of the attackers, arguing that, since blood letting is healthy, the attackers actually performed a valuable service, and Eliezer should pay them for beating him and causing him to bleed!<BR/><BR/>Upon hearing this insanity, Eliezer took his walking stick and hit the judge hard until the judge bled. He then told the judge, "There, now you owe me! Pay them (the attackers)!"Victorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05008730229882004376noreply@blogger.com
