Lou is quite young, but has already lead an interesting life. Recently he was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and drug possession. Luck was on his side when he was approached by a Georgetown Law student, who offered to represent him (she needed the credits anyway). Lou was skeptical at first, but when he read over the forms he needed to sign to permit the student lawyer to represent him, he noticed a coupon at the bottom that read, "Win or lose, you get a free T-shirt!" Lou accepted the offer.
With the help of the student lawyer, they found a better defense for the possession charge than the "I was just holding the cocaine for a friend" angle. For the indecent exposure charge, the defense was simply this: he was wearing clothing. Fur, whether it has been removed from an animal or not, is considered clothing. Just because his fur coat was still attached to him didn't make it any less of a fur coat. In fact, it was a perfect fit.
Lou was acquitted. Plus he got a spiffy Georgetown Law t-shirt, which he never takes off (getting mighty stinky by now).

Update: Now residing close to Paddington Station, I must do all I can to prevent Lou from picking a knife fight with Paddington Bear". Says Lou of Paddington, "He's such a poser."
