A tip o' the hat to reader D. M. for sending me this photograph of a headline in the Irish Herald. If you can read it with a straight face - and without boggling - you've got more self-control than I!
I have to admit, I did a double-take just looking at it! Fortunately, D. M. sent a link to the article on the newspaper's Web site, which makes it all (sort of) clear.
A REVELLER at a fancy dress party in one of Dublin's best known gay bars attacked her ex-girlfriend in a row over a novelty wrestler's suit.
Sandra Talbot (32) assaulted her ex-partner with a bottle she had hidden under her costume in a fit of rage at the George pub, after more than a year of acrimony following their break-up.
A court heard she lashed out at victim Adrienne Martin in a row that started over a novelty sumo wrestler's suit that Talbot was wearing. The row developed as the victim tried to wave at a man dressed as a Snickers bar, the court heard.
Ms Martin told Dublin District Court how she was left with a large lump on her temple and still suffered from panic attacks because of the incident.
Talbot denied any physical contact happened and said Ms Martin had "ruined her life".
Convicting her and fining her €400, Judge Catherine Murphy said she hoped the accused and the "loosely linked group of friends" who had become involved in the court case could put it behind them.
There's more at the link.
The guilty party has since said that she wants to put the whole thing behind her, and move ahead with her dream to become a tattoo artist.
Question: If she succeeds, and tattoos you, and you don't like her ink job, and say so - will she beat you up while wearing a sumo costume? I can think of a couple of folks who'll gladly pay extra if she does . . .
