Yup..........how to get a carry out when you are in 'nick'
'Excrement-chucking' prisoner given Big Mac in court deal
A prisoner in a US jail was given a McDonald's meal as part of a plea bargain after being accused of throwing faeces at a guard.
Double murderer Donald Nichols was charged with being an inmate throwing or expelling bodily substances.
He denied the charge and requested a jury trial. But he agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge of misdemeanour disorderly conduct if he got a hamburger, fries and a shake.
According to the La Crosse Tribune, Assistant District Attorney Tony Pozorski said: "He said that if we got him a hamburger, fries and a shake, he would sign the agreement. If we didn't, he wanted to go to trial."
Grant County Circuit Judge Robert VanDeHey and Mr Pozorski agreed.
Nichols' public defender, Thomas J. Kelly, went to the nearest McDonald's in Lancaster and bought his client three hamburgers, french fries, a milk shake and a cola.
Nichols allegedly threw faeces at Sergeant Robert Bowdry in Supermax prison, Wisconsin.
Kevin Traas, a spokesman for the state employees' union, said: "It didn't take long for the word to spread throughout the Supermax that if you want a good meal, all you have to do is toss (faeces) at a guard."
Now what do you do to get a pizza?

Sheesh........the oldest profession gets regulated.........
Prostitutes in Holland are complaining about new government rules, which include washing their underwear in boiling water.
They have also been told to soak vibrators for 10 minutes in an alcohol solution and shower separately from their customers.
The women complain the new rules will ruin their slinky underwear, destroy rubber sex toys and spoil the erotic atmosphere.
Brothels and prostitution were made legal in Holland last autumn. Since then, officials have been trying to clean-up the sex business.
Brothel owners complain they have been forced into debt after being ordered to undertake expensive renovations to their premises, including new fire exits and air conditioning systems.
Prostitutes have also complained that some of the regulations are dangerous, such as the rule that all beds must have cushions.
For years brothels had no cushions because of fear that clients might try to suffocate prostitutes.Another dodgy burger.............
A US schoolboy claims he bit into a McDonalds cheeseburger to find it riddled with maggots.
Vincent Ingram, aged 11, from Detroit, Michigan, is suing the burger chain for $1 million after he allegedly swallowed the maggots.
McDonalds say the allegation is "questionable", adding they've not been given any evidence to support the claim.
Vincent's lawyer, Arnold Reed, said: "His sister is standing next to him and starts freaking out, because she sees these things crawling around his mouth and out of his mouth. She starts screaming. Since this incident, he's been freaking out. He won't eat."
Mr Reed said his client swallowed at least six maggots and said Vincent's mum had saved the cheeseburger and his vomit as evidence.
The lawsuit states the burger was eaten shortly after it was bought, but does not indicate the amount of time.Only £100 fine?
A Spanish teenager has been fined £100 after he farted at police officers when they asked to see his ID.
The 16-year-old was standing with a group of friends in Bilbao when he apparently turned his back and broke wind.
They fined him on the spot. His mother admits the boy passed wind but said that he didn't deliberately aim it at police.
She told El Correo newspaper: "The fart was not directed to the officers as he did not even see them. In fact, he was just talking to his friends."ISP

What colour is your bikini? Same question to the ladies!
A bikini reveals a woman's personality, according to a new study.
Researchers at Berlin's Humboldt University say colour, style and pattern all give off subliminal signals.
They say women who wear blue tend to be wallflowers, but those who wear dark blue could be depressive.
Red bikinis signal women who like a challenge, pink wearers like to enjoy themselves and green bikinis indicate women with natural charm.
The researchers say bikinis which tie up at the sides are worn by women who are "ready for anything, but not with anyone".
Women who wear black bikinis don't necessarily need a hunk to make them happy and are happier with a quick-witted partner, reports the Sunday Express.
White signals women are the most innocent and probably single and are not necessarily looking for a good time.
The survey also offers some very useful tips for men: "Cartoon characters or logos on bikinis are a good way to start a conversation.
''Any girl in a Mickey Mouse bikini is likely to be a real kid at heart and good for a laugh."ISP

Why thank you Lisa, darling!
Check out this story!
Scientists in Australia have proved farting spreads germs by asking a boy to break wind on a laboratory dish.
Bacteria were found growing all over the plate the morning after the experiment.
The team are now looking for sponsorship from a baked bean manufacturer or curry maker to continue their research.
Dr Karl Kruszelnicki said: "Tests involve breaking wind on to lab plates from varying distances after having specific foods and drinks."
The journal New Scientist welcomed the research which it said could help shed light on a little-known issue of public health.

Stephanus........I think the wallabies went into this thing way under prepared. They were outplayed physically and mentally. They got some offense going toward the end but the game was gone by then. I think they will definitely play better next up. It should be very close.
Prisca and Ozzie....there is not much to cheer about so we gotta make the most of things! I don't expect any such heroics from our cricket team!
Kind Regards

Hey those arab dudes are way ahead......they can divorce by text message!
A husband in Dubai has had his text message divorce validated by a court - but he's changed his mind.
The husband sent the mobile message: "Why are you late? You are divorced." The court said the couple were officially divorced as a result.
The husband changed his mind hours after the sending the message and the couple, who have a baby daughter, are back together.
It is the first mobile phone divorce in Dubai.
Gulf News says four conditions must be met to make an electronically-communicated divorce valid.
These are that the husband should be the sender, that he really wants a divorce, that the phrase he uses is unambiguous and that the wife should receive it.
In this case, all the conditions were met.
The same rights are not available to women.
