Busted he was. Go to jail he did. Mmmmmmm!

GLEN Rodgers found the force against him when he was thrown in a cell overnight for breaking into his own home while dressed as a Jedi Knight.
Star Wars nut Glen, 25, had been to a fancy dress party, but forgot his keys.
So he used his light sabre to smash a window in the lean-to at his rented flat.
A neighbour heard the crash and called cops, who collared Glen inside. They carted him off still wearing his outfit.
Pub manager Glen was then locked up for 13 hours on suspicion of criminal damage in Barnstaple, Devon.
He was released with a caution early yesterday after his landlady Rosemary Facey refused to press charges.
Miffed Glen said, "I think police went too far. It must have been obvious I wasn't a thief, how many burglars go out dressed as a Jedi Knight?
"The police could have sorted it out there and then by going to the neighbour and asking if they recognised me. I have lived here for two years."
Rosemary said, "Glen's a good tenant and I've no grudge with him."
Devon and Cornwall Police said, "He committed an offence as the damaged property didn't belong to him. He was issued with a caution."
The Jedi are relentless. If they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war, without end.
Hey, he was at a costume party. That's a pretty good excuse for dressing up.
"Concentrate. Use the Force. He went in there to live, not to steal. Next time, try not to lose it. This weapon is your life.
"Why do I get the feeling that you're going to be the death of me?"
"Broken not by clones, this...pane of glass. By a lightsaber, it was."
Well, here in the States we have a Pixie who wears a suit and claims to be a Congressman from Mass.
He doesn't know the power of the Dark Side! Could have used force lightning.
He broke into his apartment with a lightsaber. Don't you think that's a little odd?!
Maybe that he used the lightsaber. The only time I ever locked myself out, I smashed a small window on my back door with a rock.
Taped a piece of plywood in the hole, and the next day had a pane of glass cut to replace it.
Crazyass Damn Jedis PING
I see a ban on light sabers coming!
They've already banned guns in England for the most part so why not?!
anyway, everything is proceeding as I have foreseen *evil snigger*
It was an accident. I was being taught how to play cricket inside a pub. They (Pub owner or manager and police) took lots of money from me, and escorted me to the boat-train. I guess I could have just gotten off. I suppose I did wake up to transfer from train to ferry to train again, but I only remember the stench waking me as the train pulled into gar de nord.
The force is strange with this one
Apology accepted, Jedi Rogers.
Must have been a large pub.
Normal sized pub, I suppose, unless you're three sheets to the wind. Alcohol impairs spatial sense, which is why drunk drivers often follow to close. Alcohol impairs common sense, too, which may be why we drink it.
