Default Too fat for prison

'Too fat to go to jail' | The Courier-Mail
Quote:
A MAN considered too obese to be jailed - for smashing a glass over another man's head during an altercation at a pub - has spoken out about escaping prison time.
Shepparton man Claude Jackson is currently doing community service for smashing a glass over another man's head at a Shepparton bar on January 14, 2007.

The victim, Tim Kirkman, received a 4cm cut to his neck in the incident and required hospital treatment.

Jackson pleaded guilty to recklessly causing serious injury and affray.
More at link. Shepparton isn't local to me, it's a regional rural town in the state of Victoria.

Build a bigger jail. Or, better yet, adopt the Singaporean practice of caning.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
