"Officers staying at the hotel searched the pair's room after smelling an unusual odour."
If I had a nickel for every time there was an unusual odour in a man's room...

Isn't a little unfair to charge them five times each for the same crime? Well maybe not. They deserve it.

Potato...I thought I was a donut!

Actually, I owe w132 one. I had read, years ago that by adding 'ein' into the phrase, it translated to 'I am a potato.'
Turns out [I searched several sites] that it theoretically translated into 'I am a jelly doughnut.'
Further research taught me that the whole story was silly, in Berlin, from the start. Berliners would never use 'ein Berliner' for 'a jelly doughnut.' Southwest Germans would say that, as they might say 'one of those great jelly doughnuts we had in Berlin.' But not in Berlin where the speech was made. *fills w132's glass from Sio's vodka pump*

Those runner-ups got charged with having a "drug utensil". What's that? I'm picturing a wacky kind of spoon or fork.
