Why do they even need to point out that he'd been drinking heavily...in ABERDEEN?! Had he not been drunk, now THAT would have been newsworthy.

...says the woman who loves Aberdeen and would pick that as her very favorite city anywhere.

I'm just having fun with the possibilities and punctuation...

A man who assaulted a female police officer with his penis has been fined. - As printed...

A man, who assaulted a female police officer with his penis, has been fined. - assumed what they meant

A man who assaulted a female police officer, with his penis, has been fined. - the way I read it at first...

And this...

Police were called to his home by his girlfriend, who had complained about him being drunk last November. - Why on earth would police answer a call in march about a dude being drunk last November?

... there's so much more there...

'Evasive action' prevents spam truncheon injury

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it.

Reminds me of a friend's story about when he personally witnessed the biggest guy on the college basketball team lose his temper with the smallest guy, stuff him in a trashcan in a public area, then proceed to "pistol" whip him in the manner of this article. Hard to imagine something more humiliating...

Nothing could be more humiliating that a spam truncheon injury.
