Got a Court Date? Here's Your Next Excuse:

I really have been too serious lately, so I have decided to take a short detour into the ridiculous:

According to this report from Reuters:

Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri failed to appear before a British court Tuesday, complaining his toe nails were too long and he could not walk.

al-Masri, up on 10 charges of using public meetings to incite his followers to kill non-Muslims, really does have issues: "Hamza has physical difficulties. He is unable to walk. He has been perambulating barefoot around the prison," said defense lawyer Peter Hynes.
Prosecutor Adina Ekiel added: "He is complaining that his toe nails are too long."


.................I mean really....how do you follow something like that???
