Topic: Lemons Supreme Court to stop taking bribes!

We've decided that politicians have cheapened the word "bribe" to the extent that it lacks the dignity demanded by the Lemons Supreme Court. Instead, teams should offer baksheesh in order to ensure quality justice.

BAKSHEESH!

Re: Lemons Supreme Court to stop taking bribes!

What is the stencil going to say?  Baksheeshed?  Sheesh-ki-bought?

"lavish remuneration and bribes, rudely demanded but ever so graciously accepted by the natives in return for little or no services rendered."

That's not right.  Our esteemed judges often demand receipts and documentation, but never bribes!

Lemons South 2008 - Fail, Lemons South Spring 2009 - Fail, Lemons Detroit(ish) 2008 - Fail, Lemons South Fall 2009 - Fail, Lamest Day 2009 - Fail, Miami 2010 (Chump) - 2nd!, Sebring 2010 (Chump) - Fail, Cuba 2010 - Crew Chief, Roebling 2011 (Chump) - 8th!, Sebring 2011(Chump) - 19th!

Re: Lemons Supreme Court to stop taking bribes!

The advantage of baksheesh is that we get to yell "BAKSHEESH!" when a team purchases quality justice.

Re: Lemons Supreme Court to stop taking bribes!

Yeah, that would look good on a stencil. I'm sure it will be a big hit in Texas, where they're such fans of linguistic diversity!

Do I detect a lack of respect for the justices of the Lemons Supreme Court? Duly noted.
