A cigar buddy emailed the following to me.

The Ausies have it right.
Burqa Bungle

In Australia, a muslim woman wearing a burqa was pulled over in a routine traffic stop, but when the officer asked her to remove her veil so he could see her face to confirm her identity, she refused and became belligerent and verbally abusive toward him, even threatening to take him to court and get him into "big trouble" for being a "racist" toward her.

Well, the woman took the case to court ... and she made false accusations that would have ruined the officer's career for the rest of his life.

BUT, luckily the entire incident had been captured by the video camera in the police car's dashboard, proving her entire story to be a huge malevolent pack of LIES.

So, the judge sentenced HER to six months in jail for falsely accusing the officer, lying to the court, etc.

But wait --- It gets even better!

Her lawyer, in trying to appeal the sentence, said it wasn't actually HER underneath that burqa --- it must've been some other woman posing as her!

And, her lawyer says, since the officer never did see her face, there is no real proof it was actually his client !!

Perhaps the lawyer should be sentenced to jail time too, for alleging such a bold-faced LIE to the court!

This story would be hysterically funny, if only it wasn't completely true.
