     Dokwerker Jan C. voelde zich geprovoceerd door de opmerking van herbergierster Joanna M. dat ze tevreden was hem samen met zijn vriendin werkvrouw Anna W. te zien. Jan C. die blijkbaar al zijn vermoedens had over de lesbische contacten van zijn vriendin, antwoordde: ‘Zijt gij mijn wijf haar truttenlakker, gij geeft export voor al hetgeen er binnen is en honderd frank er boven over, of gij moogt mijn wijf haar trut niet meer uitlakken.’
