.... ... Dealer Kills Self and Five Customers With Own Grenade ... ...

A hand grenade exploded in a crowded Yemeni market recently after a local drug dealer pulled the pin while giving change. The grenade was on the belt of one Hassan Azar, a dealer of the locally grown plant-based stimulant drug Qat. The dealer took himself and five customers out in the blast. There's a moral for dealers world wide here. Always make sure they have the right money. Never but never give change!

... ... Free the Bangladesh Two! ... ...

Bangladesh Police have arrested two monkeys who'd been trained to sell drugs by recognising the colours of different currency. The monkeys were found in chains when police raided a house, arresting three men and seizing 40 bottles of Phensidyl, an opiate based cough syrup very big with Bangladeshi junkies. When addicts entered the house the monkeys met them. If a visitor handed cash to the female Munni, then Hamid the male, would get the drugs from a hiding place. Munni handled only 50- or 100-taka bills and was trained to tell the difference by their colour.

An 83 year old Manchester Pensioner and WWII veteran Mr Ernest Pink, was arrested for forging a Viagra script after his doctor refused to increase his dosage from one a week.

And, as Dr Puffenstuff pointed out in our last issue, once a week might be okay for a New Labour Health Minister, but the rest of us might like it a bit more often.
