That's brilliant. Talk about a selling-point!
Every film released from now on should have that line in bold type on the poster.
Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2009 12:32 pmThe mystery of Ireland's worst driver
Details of how police in the Irish Republic finally caught up with the country's most reckless driver have emerged.
He had been wanted from counties Cork to Cavan after racking up scores of speeding tickets and parking fines.
However, each time the serial offender was stopped he managed to evade justice by giving a different address.
But then his cover was blown.
It was discovered that the man every member of the Irish police's rank and file had been looking for - a Mr Prawo Jazdy - wasn't exactly the sort of prized villain whose apprehension leads to an officer winning an award.
In fact he wasn't even human.
"Prawo Jazdy is actually the Polish for driving licence and not the first and surname on the licence," read a letter from June 2007 from an officer working within the Garda's traffic division.
"Having noticed this, I decided to check and see how many times officers have made this mistake.
"It is quite embarrassing to see that the system has created Prawo Jazdy as a person with over 50 identities."

We had a club night themed masturbation once.
Everyone talked about how they masturbate, what they especially like, what was the weirdest place, hottest place, what aids one uses, have you done it in a group, and so on.
It was pretty enlightening. I learned quite a few things!
(it was a GLBT-club.... In case you were wondering...)
