I received this little snippet in an email last week:

DRIVING ON THE LEFT II: A policeman in Oldbury, West Midlands, England, pulled over a weaving car. "I attempted to speak to the driver, who appeared to be fumbling around with the controls," said the constable. "At that point the passenger leaned across and stated, 'He's blind'." Sure enough the driver, OmedAziz, 31, had lost both eyes and three fingers in a bomb blast in his native Iraq, and his passenger was giving him directions so he could steer. Aziz denied charges of dangerous driving, but was convicted and given a three-month prison sentence, which was suspended, plus a three year driving ban. (London Times)
...Apparently the judge thinks that should be long enough to grow new eyes.

On Friday, I heard on the radio that a thief stole a police officer's bicycle on his way out of the station after being released from custody! That just has to take the biscuit for creative ways to screw yourself over. Some people are truly unbelievable. I did a Google on it today just to check the details. One article is here.
