Pole Position

He Was At His Witz' End

A Polish man who pasted a notice on a bus stop asking vandals to stop vandalising it was arrested - for vandalism. Janusz Nowak, 61, was arrested as he pasted the message on a pavement in the southern Sosnowiec. His notice read: "Dear vandals, please stop destroying the bus stop." A police spokesman said: "Although the man wanted to express his indignation towards hooligans' behaviour he unfortunately broke the law himself."

FOOTNOTE: He wanted a rest, not arrest.
