Thought you might find this funny Ed, pretty pathetic and these are our guardians of the law, We're doomed.

Details of how police in the Irish Republic finally caught up with the country's most reckless driver have emerged, the Irish Times reports.
He had been wanted from counties Cork to Cavan after racking up scores of speeding tickets and parking fines.
However, each time the serial offender was stopped he managed to evade justice by giving a different address.
But then his cover was blown.
It was discovered that the man every member of the Irish police's rank and file had been looking for - a Mr Prawo Jazdy - wasn't exactly the sort of prized villain whose apprehension leads to an officer winning an award.
In fact he wasn't even human.
"Prawo Jazdy is actually the Polish for driving licence and not the first and
surname on the licence," read a letter from June 2007 from an officer working within the Garda's traffic division.
"Having noticed this, I decided to check and see how many times officers have made this mistake.
"It is quite embarrassing to see that the system has created Prawo Jazdy as a person with over 50 identities."
The officer added that the "mistake" needed to be rectified immediately and asked that a memo be circulated throughout the force.
In a bid to avoid similar mistakes being made in future relevant guidelines were also amended.
And if nothing else is learnt from this driving-related debacle, Irish police officers should now know at least two words of Polish.
As for the seemingly elusive Mr Prawo Jazdy, he has presumably become a cult hero among Ireland's second largest immigrant population.

@eurocelticyankee,
Imagine all those folks getting a court summons addressed to "Mr. Drivers License."

I did some design in the community of Willow Creek, CA. There was a bigfoot statue, which I remember as a carving. I've a photo somewhere. I think some take it seriously there, one way or another.

@DrewDad,
There was a guy, Tennessee I believe, who had some sort of nihilist vanity plate on the car. "None". Every time he was caught on a traffic light camera, they tried to arrest him because it was always written up as though he had no license plate, and the law said those caught on camera with no plate had to be arrested.

Iowa inmates may start making toilet paper to save prison system money

The Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa - Iowa prisons could soon be stocking prison-made toilet paper to save taxpayers money and provide jobs to inmates.

The Des Moines Register newspaper reported on Thursday that inmates at two Iowa prisons are testing a single-ply tissue processed at a Missouri prison.

Roger Baysden, director of Iowa Prison Industries, says Iowa inmates could start processing their own toilet paper next year — if the Legislature supports the idea.

Iowa prisons use about 900,000 rolls of toilet paper annually. Processing it in-house would save about $100,000 a year and would create jobs for about 50 inmates.

Al Reiter, the associate warden at the prison in Anamosa, Iowa, says the paper is not fluffy but the state says it's an acceptable roll.

@hamburgboy,
This TP is part of the Federal stimulus package to the executives at Bank of America. Please note the solid white and yellow golds toilet paper holder.

so then the old man stops at the sign, turns into the park and stops, he reaches into the back seat from which he drags out a folded wheel-chair that he manages to unfold at the drivers seat and man and dog go for a walk on the handicapped trail.

@dyslexia,
handicapped trail? A trail only for handicapped individuals?! Don't let any libertarian hear about this.

Library and any form of food seems incongruous to me.
