Police have been unable to recommend a prosecution for the
following scam:
A company takes out a newspaper advertisement claiming to
be able to supply imported hard core pornographic videos.
As their prices seem reasonable, people place orders and
make payments via check.
After several weeks, the company writes back explaining
that under the present law they are unable to supply the
materials and do not wish to be prosecuted. So they return
their customers' money in the form of a company check.
However, due to the name of the company, few people will
present these checks to their banks. The name of the company:
"The Anal Sex and Fetish Perversion Company."
What's a penis worth? $795,000, according to a court
ruling.
The court in Bucharest, Romania, ordered a doctor to pay that amount
in compensation after surgery that went horribly wrong.
The Romanian surgeon was ordered to hand over the money to a patient
whose penis he accidentally severed during a botched operation.
The court was told that in July 2004, Dr. Naum Ciomu made a surgical
error while operating on the man's testicles, severing the penis instead
of making an incision to the testicle.
