CAIRO (AFP) - An Egyptian donkey has been jailed for stealing corn on the cob from a field belonging to an agricultural research institute in the Nile Delta, local media reported on Thursday.

The ass and its owner were apprehended at a police checkpoint that had been set up after the institute's director complained that someone was stealing his crops, the state-owned Al-Ahram daily said.


The unnamed ungulate was found in possession of the institute's corn and a local judge sentenced him to 24 hours in prison. The man who had his ass thrown in jail got off with a fine of 50 Egyptian pounds (nine dollars, six euros).

    yeah... but sharm el sheikh is freakin incredible... cairo, you get sick of in about 2 weeks, everywhere else is pretty cool, though.

    the hashish is pretty weak, in my opinion. i had to do a LOT for it to have a real affect on me, and you can only imagine how fucked up it made me, haha

    Dubai,Saudi Arabia...Morocco and Egypt (Africa) Those are the only arabic countries I've seen. Been planning a trip to Israel/Palestine, but that's on hold for now.

    Otherwise I tend to enjoy places of conflict. Pakistan,South Africa right at the end of apartheid. You know It's a big world but everyone really is the same. kinda. I love to travel.
