THE CHEAPER OF TWO EVILS

Two recent court cases have earned the attention of newspaper readers in
South Africa. One person was fined R1 000 for not having a TV licence.
Another was released on bail for R500 after being arrested for murder.
The moral of this South African story: if you do not have a TV licence
and the inspector comes round, kill him. You'll save R500.
