Best bit:
Arthur Ross Cradock, a 48-year-old orchard worker, admitted in the Nelson District Court yesterday to the charge of using a phone for a fictitious purpose, after calling police with the message, “I’ve been raped by a wombat”.
It is my ambition to be charged with this offense someday.
Update (Fri 4th). This guy is my new hero.
Would pretending you were on the phone at a party or a venue or something so you didn’t look like you had no friends fall under this category? Not that I’ve ever done that…Yeah. Nah. If this would be in the scope of the offense there is a girl I know, Kim, who would need to be locked up for life.
