'Pregnant' man fined in court

From correspondents in Johannesburg

November 28, 2006

 

A SOUTH African man was fined by a local court overnight for taking time off from work and trying to cover it with a fake gynaecologist's certificate attesting he was pregnant and needed a week off.

 

A magistrate's court in Vereeniging, near Johannesburg, fined 27-year-old Charles Sibindana 1000 rand ($180) for the brazen forgery, the SAPA news agency reported.

 

Sibindana stole a medical certificate from a health centre used by his pregnant girlfriend, but was apparently unaware that only women consulted gynaecologists.

 

Magistrate Bruno Van Eeden jokingly warned Sibindana "not to walk around faking sick letters from gynaecologists".

Hey, you never know! Just now on Fox News, they were discussing that recent item about how pregnant women should be taken Paxil or whatever. And, to punctuate the chatter, they showed clips of pregnant women walking through the streets... EXCEPT for the one they showed of what was really just a fat MAN instead! :doh:
