One of my favorite English idioms is "the proof is in
the pudding".
And the gallery gasps in surprise as he pulls a 38-caliber
handgun out of the bowl, sopped and dripping in banana pudding. He begins to
describe how the alleged murderer obtained the weapon and how he fired it, but
has to pause to remove a slice of banana that has slipped and wedged its way
into the barrel.
Later in the trial, a forensics expert is giving a key
piece of testimony.
"You see," she says, "we took a sample of
the gunpowder from the scene, put it in a rather gelatinous solution that was 3
parts tapioca, 2 parts key lime Jello, and were able to scientifically match
the gunpowder to the weapon in question."
Elsewhere, a scientist is shocked to find the Higgs-Boson
Particle floating innocently in his evening bowl of Bavarian Cream.
