I don’t know why, but whenever I read a weird, odd, or bizarre news headline, it’s almost guaranteed to come fr0m our friends across the pond.
Here’s this week’s item:
Irish woman dies after sex with dog
A man was before Limerick District Court after his Alsatian dog had sex with a 43-year-old woman. The woman later died from an allergic reaction. The incident happened in 2008 and the dog has been held in custody since.
So, apprently it took two or three years to investigate this. Is that because it happens frequently, or because it’s so unusual, even for UK standards?
The reason for the death? I had no idea that this could even happen.
The woman fell ill after the incident and was rushed to Limerick hospital where she died from a severe allergic reaction to the sex.
Ah, now I understand why the investigation took so long. They needed to find an interpreter. How else would they reach this conclusion?
Police are apparently satisfied that the sex was consensual.
Consensual? Seriously?
Okay, everybody post your puns in the comments. Come on, I know you’re dying to write one.
