Crap Arrest of the Week
For making a joke down the pub!
An American who made a remark about a "burning bush" was sentenced this
month to 37 months in prison for "threatening to kill or harm the
president." Richard Humphreys said he got into a barroom discussion
with a
truck driver in which he joked about the biblical expression "burning
bush."
A bartender who overheard the conversation knew that Bush was visiting
the
area the next day and so telephoned police. "I said God might speak to
the
world through a burning Bush," Humphreys testified during his trial. "I
had
said that before and I thought it was funny."
