Outside the Supreme Court building, a large gathering of reporters, professionals, and ordinary citizens awaits the hearing of a case that could have far-reaching consequences for the nation.

What was the hearing about, you may wonder?

The hearing concerned the legality of using pineapple as a pizza topping. Indeed, the long-debated issue of whether pineapple should be a pizza topping option will be resolved.

To be sure, the Supreme Court's involvement in such an absurd case may be a touch excessive. However, for those who are deeply invested in the subject, the involvement of the highest court in the country is ideal.

Anyway, while everyone is waiting for the outcome of the trial, there are some spectators who are having their own heated debate. These individuals are divided into pro- and anti-pineapple factions. And, as the name implies, one group enjoys pineapple on their pizza while the other despises the idea.

"Finally, no more pineapple on pizzas!" exclaimed an anti-pineapple activist.

"Nonsense!" said someone from the anti-pineapple camp. "That's just your assumption; the verdict hasn't even been delivered yet."

"Bah!" sneered the guy contemptuously. "There is no need to hear the verdict because the court will undoubtedly prohibit that abomination of a topping on our pizzas!"

"You've gone too far!"

The man from the anti-pineapple faction's contemptuous comment enraged the people from the pro-pineapple faction to the point where they surrounded him. Seeing this, the anti-pineapple faction chose to defend the man because he is one of their own.

However, just as the two factions were about to collide, a court representative abruptly exited the building and announced the outcome of the case.

"Pineapple will not be prohibited!"

After that single sentence, the representative dashed into the building, as if scared of being mobbed by the anti-pineapple faction.

“Hahahaha! We won!"

The pro-pineapple faction was overjoyed with the decision and began rubbing it in the faces of the opposing faction, which aggravated their moods even more.

"It's not over yet; we'll appeal the decision."

With those remarks, the anti-pineapple faction storms out of the venue, huffing and puffing. And with that, one of the most absurd trials in history came to a close.
