Party time
A judge in the US who welcomed a former
fugitive back to her courtroom with balloons, streamers and a cake
defended her actions saying that getting a killer and abuser of women off
the streets is reason to celebrate.
Judge Faith Johnson threw the party upon sentencing 53-year-old Billy
Wayne Williams to life in prison.
Williams, who previously served time in prison for killing his wife, went
on the lam a year ago while on trial in Johnson's court on charges he
choked his girlfriend until she passed out. He was convicted in absentia
of aggravated assault.
No decorum in this court! |
Husband in trouble
An American man who said he threw a live electrical wire into his wife's
bath hoping a near-death experience would save their marriage was
convicted of attempted first-degree intentional homicide.
William Dahlby said in court he was only trying to scare his wife the
evening. He told jurors the wire was hooked to a "ground fault
interrupter" designed to cut the electricity when the cord encountered
water. His wife was not hurt.
Prosecutors said Dahlby was trying to kill his wife to start a new life
with another woman.
Trying to save marriage by killing your wife – that’s a new one! |

Poor burglar
An Argentinian burglar who got stuck in a
chimney has been ordered to rebuild it himself.
Jorge Rolando, 21, from Viedma, was caught when he got stuck while trying
to rob a house in Guido. Firefighters had to break open the chimney to
release him.
A court ordered Rolando, who works as a builder, to rebuild the chimney
for the house owner. At the city's criminal court, judges said they would
give him a chance because he was abandoned as a child and had a difficult
childhood.
Off the hook (read chimney) lightly! |
Fantasies relived
Organisers of an erotic fair in Poland are to go ahead with a contest to
find the world female sex champion despite a local authority ban.
The competition will put three women from Brazil, the US and Poland
against each other for the Sex Champion title.
Organisers of the Eroticon sex fair are also hoping one of them will break
the World Sex Record which currently stands at 759 'humps' - as they
describe it.
Each of the three participants were hoping to pass the 1,000 men mark in
the competition and called for willing volunteers.
Good sense vs wild streak!

Suitable wife
The Greek Orthodox Church has launched a campaign to help young priests
overcome a growing problem -- finding a wife in an age when Greek women
are more and more reluctant to embrace an austere lifestyle.
The highly conservative church announced that a new committee would
examine "pastoral methods to obtain and prepare priests' wives."
Young Greek would-be priests are expected to find a spouse before being
ordained. But many run into problems because potential spouses are often
discouraged by constraints on entertainment and by the dress code
associated with their future husbands' profession.
Church-run catechism classes could be turned into match-making courses! |
Tailpiece
Suzie went to her psychiatrist because she was
having severe problems with her sex life. The psychiatrist asked her many
questions, but did not seem to be getting a clear picture of her problems.
Finally he asked, “Do you ever watch your husband’s face while you’re
having sex?” “Well, yes, I did once.”
“Well, how did he look?”
“Very angry.”
At this point the psychiatrist felt that he was really getting somewhere
and he said, “Well Suzie, that’s very interesting, we must look into this
further. Now tell me, you say that you have only seen your husband’s face
once during sex; that seems somewhat unusual; how did it occur that you
saw his face that time?”
“He was looking through the window at us.” |
