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 was always the last one off the bus. I sat right behing Chrissy Gwatkin, who had the perfect butt in those blue late 70's style chino's.

I've been enjoying the (dis)order since I was 13.

I have never really been embarrassed by it, since I knew that if someone was to mention something about it, it would be an admission that they were looking down there.

Enjoy it while you can. It's like having a close friend who sometimes arrives at inconvenient times. You wish he would go away and stop bothering you. But when he doesn't come by that much anymore, you really miss him, and you forget why you ever were annoyed with him.

So, share, Skooz...what was so special about that teacher? Or was it a classmate whose development was advanced, if you know what I mean and I think you do (wink wink! nudge nudge)?

Benefit fraud investigators carefully monitored media coverage about Byron and realised that Simon Leach, the man she claimed was her lodger, was in fact her lover. They found that she had been overpaid £6,097 in housing and income benefits after lying to the department.

Leach? His name is Leach?

LOL ~

It certainly wasn't the teacher. The classmates are another matter

If she was female and even remotely attractive, she was the problem.

Joy, Diane, Debby, Melanie, Donna, Denise, Rachel (oh dear heavens, Rachel) and many others kept me in my seat constantly.

Not in person. As he walked in, the floor would shake, so would she, and she'd go off again.

persistent sexual arousal syndrome

Who knew there was a name for it?

There's always been a name for it. Just not one you could say in polite company.

Strange you should mention PSAS...maybe the acronym was inspired by the minidresses worn by Pacific Southwest Airlines stewardesses (before sex appeal was extracted from the position). They got my motor running back in the day.
