One of the local Members of Parliament (Gillian Shephard) paid a visit to Norwich jail to inspect the place and after her tour of the prison, she was shown to her chauffeur-driven car by the Governor, whereupon it was discovered that the chauffeur had inadvertently left the keys in the car and he was unable to open the doors. There was much embarrassment until the Governor of Norwich jail came up with a splendid idea.

"We have plenty inside here who are doing time for car burglary. Shall I get one?"

Gillian nodded her assent.

Enter Justin, doing a few years for such crimes, and he was invited to display his skills to the advantage of Mrs. Shephard in order to save her any further embarrassment.

With that, Justin picked up a large stone and hurled it at the windscreen shattering it in a million pieces.

Surrounding press and camera men had to hide behind trees and other cover to conceal their mirth.

Apparently, Justin, though a frequent offender, had a "simple and dynamic approach " to theft. Not for him the sophisticated business of bits of wire etc.

By way of explanation he later said that all he was ever after was the property inside the vehicles.

1-In Louisiana, it's illegal to gargle in public (would this also include clearing one's throat, one asks?)

2-Better hold back the desire to shave in public in Massachusetts, 'cause this...this ghastly act is against the law ("officer - arrest that man...he used his razor right in front of my eyes!")

3-In Utah, birds have the right of way on state highways

4-If you wear sneakers - or any other type of shoes that requires lacing up - be aware that it's unlawful to stroll down Maine streets with your shoe laces untied.

5-Better be aware that in Atlanta, it's unlawful to tie your giraffe to a telephone pole (wonder if that law covers rhinos...)

6-Remember that in Nebraska, spitting in the wind is against the law (wonder if there's a fine for spitting AGAINST the wind?)

7-Here's a law we can all applaude. When dining out in Connecticut, there is a law in the books (so they say) requiring restaurant owners to provide separate nose-blowing and non-nose-blowing sections (wonder if they supply Kleenex...)

8-Try to remember when eating pie in Kansas, that it's unlawful to eat it with a scoop of icecream on top (whipped cream acceptable, one asks?)

9-In California, its against the law to peel an orange in your hotel room

10-This seems logical enough, that it's against the law in Ohio to set a fire under your mule. (Like a mule would wait around anyway...)

11-If you take a dip in water while in Vermont, keep in mind that it's agin the law to whistle under water...(singing I hear, is alright though)

12-When visiting Florida and the urge to toss around some cups and saucers during an argument overtakes you, keep in mind that there could be legal repercussions if you break more than 3 per day (try to keep it down to an acceptable two, will you?)

13-Love this - ze French...zey are zo zany - it's illegal to land a flying saucer in the vineyards of France. Presumably, it's acceptable near the Eiffel Tower but we would not want to disturb ze grapes which make ze delicious vin, vould v
