10 Orgasms a day = Welfare Cheat
Sidney Morning Herald ^ | none listed

Posted on 08/24/2006 8:32:04 AM PDT by justche

A mother of 10 who says she experiences up to 40 orgasms a day due to a medical condition defrauded the UK's welfare system of $15,000.

Ruth Leach, 50, was spotted by benefit fraud investigators when she appeared on British television and in magazines telling of her condition - persistent sexual arousal syndrome.

The Times reports that the Department of Work and Pensions took a keen interest because she mentioned she had a 22-year-old lodger, Simon Leach.

Their investigators found Leach - who she has since married - was her lover and that she had been claiming nearly $15,000 in housing and income benefits she was not entitled to.

Yesterday she was sentenced to a two-year community rehabilitation order in Blackpool and told to pay $124 in costs after admitting four counts of benefit fraud.

I suffered from the same disorder when I was 17.

Welfare is collapsing under its' own corruption.

What's the over/under on how long Simon goes before he drops over dead?

I'd imagine most of the money went to buy D-cells.

She'll come back OK.

Ditto. It was brutal.

Teacher: Skooz, class is over.
Skooz: I know.
Teacher: Well, don't you think you should go to your next class?
Skooz: I will, uuhhh...in a minute.
Teacher: You really need to go now, Skooz.
Skooz: Yes, I know. But, can I just stay here for awhile?
Teacher: I have to go and I can't leave you in the room. You need......
Skooz: Please?
Teacher: ... to leave now. I mean it, buster UP and OUT!
Skooz: mmmkay. (strategically placing massive text book yet trying to make it appear natural).
