Baton Rouge - A Louisiana man who went up to police to chat about stupid criminals was himself arrested when the officer noticed marijuana sticking out of his pocket.

The Times-Picayune says Jesse Bryant went up to a uniformed deputy sheriff at a petrol station in Slidell and started talking about how there were some "stupid people out there".

But the officer noticed a plastic bag sticking out of his pocket, and, after persistent questioning, a red-faced Bryant handed the bag over.

"What was that you were saying about stupid people?" the officer asked.

Bryant has now been summoned to appear in court on a charge of simple possession of marijuana.

"The deputy then went out to deal with more 'stupid people', most of whom aren't as helpful as Bryant in exposing their own misdeeds," the sheriff's spokesperson said. - ananova.com

Menstruating Women in the Czech Republic Have it Rough

Here is a link to the below article. It's from IOL, a South Afrian news website.

Bloody stupid idea. Period.

Prague - Czech labour inspectors convinced a retail chain to drop a plan that would have required women cashiers to wear red headbands when menstruating, a newspaper said on Thursday.

"We talked the firm out of it," government inspector Michal Ronin told the daily Mlada fronta Dnes. "They admitted it was stupid."

Officials with the unidentified retailer had reasoned that headbands were needed to identify women who need to use the restroom often because of their period, Ronin said.

The plan was never implemented, and several retail chains interviewed by the newspaper said they would never even consider such a rule for their cashiers.

The paper cited the plan as an example of alleged rampant harassment of workers in the Czech Republic. - Sapa-dpa
