A British man ran up a bill of 139,435 kronor ($20,000) at one of Stockholm's top restaurants. When he refused to pay, the restaurant called the police. Fine by me, was the man's reaction.
"He admits everything. He said he wants to go to jail," said Lars-Erik Baarsen of Stockholm Police.
The 36-year-old, smartly-dressed Brit ordered scallops, entrecote and ice cream at Stockholm's exclusive Café Opera restaurant.
The rest of the bill was made up of drinks of various kinds. The man was served bottle after bottle of expensive wine, although according to staff he drank no more than one glass per bottle. The most expensive bottle on his bill cost 41,000 kronor.
also....Hill Street Blues I think.
>>authorities are aware that people who get to eat, drink and live well while in jail don’t start riots etc.<<
Joe Arpaio looks at it in the opposite. Green balogny sandwiches and pink underwear. No smoking - no tv (except the history channel and religion channel-I think), and they have to sing the Star Spangled Banner three times a day in English. Some are on chain gangs and some sleep in tents.
And none ever want to go back.
“Some are on chain gangs and some sleep in tents.

- Once Hillary becomes A number 1 these things will gently pass away..
Hillary will never be A number 1.
“Hillary will never be A number 1.”
- My blessings
Now you're talkin' smart. You were this close to getting grounded. Hee hee.
Bah! Humbug!
- That being said, Hillary will definitely become mighty popular over here.
I’m not being ridiculous or anything, but Hillary will be treated like royalty.
OK. You are grounded.
