LONDON (AFP) - A suspect was slammed in the cells after he broke wind in a British court then burst out laughing about it.
Joseph Wildy let rip and refused to apologise after he had a fit of the giggles with his co-defendants on Tuesday.
However, magistrate Simon Bridge, sitting in Blackpool, on the northwest coast of England, was not amused by his interruption. He found Wildy in contempt of court and ordered him to be locked up.
After cooling off in the cells, Wildy returned to court 90 minutes later and apologised to Bridge.
"He was laughing in court, that's why he was found in contempt," said a court spokeswoman.
"It was for interrupting the proceedings by laughing, and then refusing to apologise."
Wildy pleaded not guilty to handling stolen goods and was bailed to reappear at a later date at the same court.
They'll have to turn on the air conditioning to make the evidence stand up in court.
"Will the offendant rise? If you have nothing to say for yourself, I odor you to be taken into custody!" "Bailiff, whack his pee-pee!"
bump
I should say you've had ENOUGH!
hehe... I'm guessing the heater was turned on full blast to begin with - sweaty blouse made the lack of bra obvious! :-P
You mean back before Red Skelton or Bob Hope or George Burns or Jack Benny or....
(all things old are new again)
You gotta rent "Poseidon" with Curt Russell and Richard Dreyfuss. This article coulda been a model for the movie!
Truth be told, I'd probably have a gutache and a hugh gash on the head.
The cause? ROTFLMAO...8^)
Did that list come from PMF Industries, Inc.?

Prerequisite would be that someome be sober enough to notice.
Here's a hint: It ain't me.
I'ma stumble back to the bar now.
Or somewhere.
Note to self: DON'T FALL OFF.
I have no idea why you pinged me tuh this...
To answer the question asked in the fundraising picture of JFkerry at the top of the page--- "That's how he farts".
Years ago a friend's son was before a judge. He was arrested because his motorcycle had no muffler. During the proceedings, as the judge was chastizing said kid, the judge broke window-rattling wind whereupon the kid promptly said, "What? No muffler?"
Sorry, the fund-raising picture changed. The one I was referring to was Kerry hiking a football with guys in the back wondering what he was doing. Mea culpa.
It appears he was jailed for laughing. He hasn't learned to laugh on the inside while looking with shock at the fella standing next to him. It works.
I'm glad he was able to laugh about it as those English farts are deadly, what with them putting beans on everything that goes in their mouths...
Yeah...remember the guy at the theater in London last May? The one who sat right in front of you and kept...releasing?
Ewwwww! That stench was everywhere we went! The Limeys were constantly droppin'em...they need those charcoal undies or something...
