Sorry, but I'm afraid I think this is funny!

Sorry about this, but I have an extremely weird sense of humour, and couldn’t help thinking that this was very funny (in a tragi-comic sort of way). No offense meant!


FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - A grand jury heard evidence in the possible death penalty murder case against teenage sniper suspect Lee Boyd Malvo.

Prosecutor Robert F. Horan on Tuesday sought a capital murder indictment against the 17-year-old in the Oct. 14 slaying of FBI agent Linda Franklin. A decision by the grand jury was expected to be made public Wednesday.

Horan had said he would seek capital murder indictments under two statutes: one prohibiting the killing of more than one person in a three-year period, and an anti-terrorism law.

Muhammad is scheduled to go on trial in October in neighboring Prince William County for the slaying of Dean Meyers at a Manassas gasoline station


Now that’s one tough statute they’ve got there, I don’t think I’ll ever understand the logic in American law!!

It sounds more like a law one would create for hunting deer rather than the killing of humans.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I suppose this law was written to address some specific situation or close some loop hole but..... it begs some questions...

"Son, you should have waited until tomorrow when your three year would be up...

and...if it is prohibited to kill more than one person in a three year periods, does that mean it is NOT prohibited to kill just one person in a three year period? I can see some lawyer trying to make that one work!

Sara and SAS, you hit the nail right on the head! John says: Long live Monty Python! - you're familiar with them Lynne.

[lizbud]

I seriously doubt that those are the words used in the
statute, only the reporter's "description" of the statues
meaning, as he understood it.

[lynnestankard]

How true Randi - I reckon the Monty Python Team wrote that!!!!
LOL!!

The "We Were Poor" Sketch from "Monty Python Live at City Center" and "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl"

Four well-dressed men sitting together at a vacation resort. "Farewell to Thee" being played in the background on Hawaiian guitar.

Michael Palin: Ahh.. Very passable, this, very passable.
Graham Chapman: Nothing like a good glass of Chateau de Chassilier wine, ay Gessiah?
Terry Gilliam: You're right there Obediah.
Eric Idle: Who'd a thought thirty years ago we'd all be sittin'
here drinking Chateau de Chassilier wine?
MP: Aye. In them days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a cup o' tea.
GC: A cup ' COLD tea.
EI: Without milk or sugar.
TG: OR tea!
MP: In a filthy, cracked cup.
EI: We never used to have a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper.
GC: The best WE could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.
TG: But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor.
MP: Aye. BECAUSE we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, "Money doesn't buy you happiness."
EI: 'E was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHIN'. We used to live in this tiiiny old house, with greaaaaat big holes in the roof.
GC: House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the
floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!
TG: You were lucky to have a ROOM! *We* used to have to live in a corridor!
MP: Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph.
EI: Well when I say "house" it was only a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpolin, but it was a house to US.
GC: We were evicted from *our* hole in the ground; we had to go and live in a lake!
TG: You were lucky to have a LAKE! There were a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road.
MP: Cardboard box?
TG: Aye.
MP: You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!
GC: Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!
TG: Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues.
We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four
hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.
EI: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night,
half an hour before I went to bed, (pause for laughter), eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves
singing "Hallelujah."
MP: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.
ALL: Nope, nope..
