'Pregnant' man fined in SA court

'Pregnant' man fined in SA court

from bbc online



A South African man has been fined $140 for taking a week off work, telling his employers he was pregnant.
Charles Sibindana, 27, stole a certificate from a clinic during his pregnant girlfriend's checkup, a court near Johannesburg heard.

He then added his own details to the note and submitted it and took seven days off work, seemingly unaware that only women consult gynaecologists.

His employers became suspicious and investigated the matter.

On passing sentence Magistrate Bruno Van Eeden warned Mr Sibindana "not to walk around faking sick letters from gynaecologists" as if he was pregnant, the South African Press Association news agency reported.



What an idiot

His employers had to investigate his claim of being pregnant?

Probably the funniest thing I've heard in weeks...!
It almost cheered me up a bit from the snow-less winter outside. But only almost.

he must not know that men can't give birth nor can they get pregnant.
