A king had a servant whom he favored because of his intellect. He however did not like the fact that he smoked. Once whilst on a tour through some tobacco fields the king noticed that even the donkeys were not eating the tobacco. He said to his servant, "look, even donkeys don't go near tobacco". The servant replied, "yes sir, donkeys never use tobacco"!

I was caught on Camera speeding so I challeneged it in Court.

I went to the Court representing myself. The magisterate asked me are you sure you dont want a Solicitor, I am sure I said!

The Police brought in the expert who calibrated the Camera that morning and Police Soilicitor questioned him for 20 minutes about technology and how he calibrated the Camera etc. They turned him to me then.

I asked him:

1) Are you married?
2) Do you love your wife?
3) Do you buy her gifts?
4)Do you buy from ebay or shop?

The witness got irritated, the Police solicitor asked the Magistrate to stop my questioning becauase it was irrelevant to the case, Magistrate asked me to explain my line of questioning!

I said I wanted to demonstrate wasting time! Where have I challenged IT, the Camera or the calibration?

This witness and the Police Solicitor hss wasted and Magisterial time by arguing over something which is not even under discussion! Prove that it was me driving and not the Camera taking pictures.

Manchester Police lost the case!

The verbal rivalry between, Ustad zauq and Mirza Ghalib are legendry and well known in Urdu poetry realms.

Ghalib once sneered at Zauq commenting that his only claim to fame was his Royal connection :

Hua hai sheh ka musaahib, phirey hai itraata

(Having become the King’s companion he moves around with arrogance)

The Ustaad made a strong complaint to the Emperor. In the next mushaira at the Fort, Bahadur Shah Zafar asked Ghalib if he had actually made this comment. Ghalib admitted its authorship but added that the comment was not on Zauq ; it was the first line (misra) of the last couplet (maqta) of his latest Ghazal. The Emperor asked him to recite the whole maqta and Ghalib immediately turned the tables on himself :

Hua hai sheh ka musaahib, phirey hai itraata / Wagar na sheher mein Ghalib ki aabroo kya hai

(Having become the King’s companion he moves around with arrogance /
Lest what reputation does Ghalib command in the city ?)

He received a tremendous applause from the audience but Zauq understood that Ghalib had just come up with the second misra. He insisted that Ghalib be asked to recite the entire Ghazal. There was none. Thus was composed, on the spot

During May, 1857, when the Sepoy Mutiny was at its peak, Ghalib went to a friend of his in Meerut, who was a Subedar by family tradition and owned many mango orchards in Meerut and Saharnpur.

Once during the afternoon, Ghalib felt the urge to eat mangoes. That was not the time for the fruit to get ripened as most of the varieties in northern India ripe in the sweltering heat of June. While
Ghalib was just gazing at the kachcha aam (unripe mangoes), a British soldier saw Ghalib and without ado arrested him.

In fact that area was densely populated by Muslims who revolted against the British. The poet was taken to the Meerut Kotwali after arrest. In those days Hindus and Muslims used to wear almost similar clothes.

When he reached the police station, the military governor Colonel Burn asked Ghalib:

‘Are you a Muslim?’

Ghalib was witty and his friend confirmed his presence of mind was par excellence. He replied:

‘ I am only a half-Muslim.’

‘What exactly do you mean by that? Be clear,’

said Col. Burn.

‘By that I mean Sir, that I take liquor but I do not touch pork!’

Hearing this, Col. Burn burst out laughing and let him off advising him not to mix up with the rioters.

It just shows, it's not selected people or reasons that a post needs checking, sometimes, it could be random, a glitch, coding error etc etc etc

I could authorize it myself, but I'd rather leave it for someone else to do and not be quick to let it prolong into a conspiracy that only certain members posts require authorizing :)

Oh no, there's definitely a conspiracy. The fact that an authorizer also got flagged is nothing but a red herring.

Nice try, but I now view everything as a conspiracy unless proven to the contrary. The proofs also have to conform to my arbitrarily variable standards.

Life in this rabbit hole has really grown on me. It's good to be a selectively scientific believer.
