Chinese Police Cat
Whilst trying to find some funny stories yesterday I came across so many good ones that I thought I might share a few on here. I can assure you that they are all true but I might add a bit of embellishment or some puns, see if you can spot them…
Mog The Merciless
A cat has been appointed an unofficial police officer in a Chinese city where it joins officers on patrol.
The black cat spends most of its days in the police station in the Shapingba district of Chongqing, reports the Hualong Network.
But when officers go out on patrol, the cat follows them so much that citizens have started calling it ‘Officer’.
“It’s very swift, and can climb trees and chase rats. It’s really cool,” said one officer.
“It’s getting on well. We’re giving it in-house training and soon enough it’ll be able to make arrests,” said another officer.
A police spokesman said nobody had claimed the cat so officers had adopted it and were feeding it.
“They are raising the cat and giving it the informal title of police officer for its cool look and diligent work in catching rats,” he said.
A Bit of Frogging On A Weekend, Sir?
Truck drivers who are caught speeding in an Indian state are being made to hop like frogs.
Police in Bihar dish out the humiliating punishments instead of taking offenders to court.
For the most popular punishment, leapfrog, speeding truck drivers have to sit on their haunches, hold their ears and hop for almost half a kilometre.
And the drivers are made to chant the name of the political leader they like most while they are being punished.
One policeman was quoted as saying: “If they remember their leader when they are being punished, it’s like they are insulting them. If they have any sense, they won’t do the offence again.”
She continued: “Some people really hate it and don’t take to it quickly. They go hopping mad”.
Absolute Loonacy
Timers have been installed to prevent civil servants from spending any longer than ten minutes in the toilet.
Dozens of workers have reportedly been caught out by the new efficiency drive at the Government Office for the West Midlands.
A hidden sensor switches off the toilet light after ten minutes of use according to reports.
Staff have condemned the GOWM for the move, which was introduced in a bid to help save millions of pounds.
One worker at the offices in Birmingham said: “This was brought in without any staff consultation and is both humiliating and degrading.
“Can you imagine the indignity of being in a cubicle, letting nature take its course, when suddenly the lights go out, and you have to fumble in the dark to make yourself decent, before struggling to make your way out towards the main door to the toilets where the switch is?
“All the while you are praying someone doesn’t enter the toilets and see you struggling in the dark with your trousers round your ankles.”
Similar changes are expected to be rolled out around the country to meet Treasury targets for Whitehall departments to make “efficiency savings” worth £11bn a year.
A spokeswoman for the government office defended their toilet light switches insisting they save money and energy.
She said: “We have introduced a range of measures across Government Office buildings to reduce avoidable energy consumption and we are continuing with that work.”
