CAIRO: A 25-year-old Egyptian waitress, ‘addicted to men’ and had allegedly married seven times in 45 days has been arrested by the police in Hurghada on charges of polygamy.
Working in a tourist resort the waitress allegedly developed sexual relationships with young men. Sexual relationships out of wedlock are prohibited by law in Egypt. However, she used to write an unofficial marriage agreement before any new relationship.
The waitress met a young contractor in the cafe who soon fell for her and proposed.
A few days into the marriage, her new husband, Ramadan discovered one of the unofficial marriage agreements dating a few days before they got married. When confronted, she reportedly confessed she was ‘addicted to men’ and had married seven times in 45 days. Two of the marriages were only ten hours apart. She also confessed she was pregnant.
The husband filed an official complaint against his wife and the police detained her on charges of forgery, fornication and polygamy.
Country Runs Out of Toilet Paper
LONDON: Tissue is now an issue in Cuba. Yes, the isolated island nation, which has survived economic sanctions for nearly 50 years, has finally been laid low by a key shortage of lavatory paper.
State-run company Cimex, which manufactures lavatory paper, has warned that the global economic meltdown as well as a series of devastating hurricanes have hit the production and it may not even be able to import sufficient supplies till the end of the year, 'The Daily Telegraph' reported.
"The corporation has taken all the steps so that at the end of the year there will be an important importation of toilet paper," a Spokesman for Cimex was quoted by the British newspaper as saying.
Cuba both imports lavatory paper and produces its own, but does not currently have enough raw materials to make it, he said, adding the shipment will enable the state-run company "to supply this demand that today is presenting problems".
City's Name means "Unwiped Bottom": Thanks to Spelling Error
TORONTO: Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper faced embarrassing moments when his office issued a press release mis-spelling the name of a provincial capital he was visiting. But it was no ordinary mistake. It was a gaffe which turned the name of the city into 'unwiped bottom'.
This happened during Harper's visit to the country's Arctic territory of Nunavat.
He was in the provincial capital of Iqaluit to announce development projects when the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) issued the press release with Iqaluit spelt as Iqualuit.
The error left the residents flabbergasted. Because the extra 'u' changed the meaning of the city to unwiped bottom.
"It means people with unwiped bums," Sandra Inutiq of the office of the Languages Commissioner of Nunavut was quoted as saying.
"It's not exactly a nice term," she said.
The Prime Minister's office apologised for the gaffe, calling it a human error that might teach Canadians an important lesson about spelling mistakes, agency reports said.
"Hopefully this unfortunate typo, which we have corrected, will inform the greater public that there is no (extra) 'u' in Iqaluit," PMO spokesman Dimitri Soudas was quoted as saying.
Major Canadian media outlets also misspelt Iqaluit as Iqualuit.
