The man who fell off his sofa laughing at a TV show


A man was handcuffed, arrested and dragged before a court after falling off the settee with laughter while watching Have I Got News For You. A joke made by panellist Paul Merton had him doubled up with laughter. He collapsed on the floor, but the thud startled his downstairs neighbour who believing he had collapsed and called police.
Officers arrived and said Cocker was initially co-operative but became aggressive when they asked his name and tried to shut his front door. He was handcuffed and unceremoniously thrown into the back of a police van. When he ended up in a police cell he was asking himself how all this had happened. Mr Taylor told Blackburn Magistrates' Court, Lancs said that having informed the police he was the only one in the flat and he was fine, his client could not understand why they wanted his details.


I really believe that this would be the worst story to tell you children, If i got arrested for laughing at the TV i would be mad too!

That is actually funny. I would get myself arrested for watching "Three Stooges" at that rate. I guess stranger things have happened.
