(1) Commenting on a complaint from a Mr. Arthur Purdey about a large

gas bill, a spokesman for North West Gas said, "We agree it was

rather high for the time of year.

It's possible Mr. Purdey has been charged for the

gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his house."

(The Daily Telegraph)




(2) Police reveal that a woman arrested for shoplifting had a whole

salami in her underwear. When asked why, she said it was because she

was missing her Italian boyfriend. (The Manchester Evening News)





(3) Irish police are being handicapped in a search for a stolen van,

because they cannot issue a description. It's a Special Branch

vehicle and they don't want the public to know what it looks like.

(The Guardian)




(4) A young girl who was blown out to sea on a set of inflatable

teeth was rescued by a man on an inflatable lobster. A coast guard

spokesman commented "This sort of thing is all too common".

(The Times)





(5) At the height of the gale, the harbourmaster radioed a

coastguard and asked him to estimate the wind speed. He replied he

was sorry, but he didn't have a gauge. However, if it was any help,

the wind had just blown his Land Rover off the cliff.

(Aberdeen Evening Express)





(6) Mrs. Irene Graham of Thorpe Avenue, Boscombe, delighted the

audience with her reminiscence of the German prisoner of war who was

sent each week to do her garden. He was repatriated at the end of

1945, she recalled. "He'd always seemed a nice friendly chap, but

when the crocuses came up in the middle of our lawn in February 1946,

they spelt out 'Heil Hitler.'"

Feel like a woman....

As a boat is about to sink, a female passenger jumps up frantically and announces:

 "If I'm going to die, I want to die feeling like a woman."

She removes all her clothing and asks: 

 "Is there someone on this ship who is man enough to make me feel like a woman."

A man stands up, removes his shirt and says:  

"Here, iron this!"

From the Ealing Chronicle......
 
Man sentenced for voyeurism

A POLISH carpenter has been handed a three-month sentence for voyeurism after spying on his housemates in the shower.

Grzegorz Zdyb, 34, of Rosemount Road, Acton, admitted a charge of voyeurism at Isleworth Crown Court today (Friday).

His housemates discovered a video camera he had set up in the shower of the house which linked to recording equipment in the loft.

Zdyb, who has lived in England for nine years, has already served the sentence on remand, but must also sign on the sex offenders register for the next seven years.
