   Let's look at a couple of   
     Silly men - e.g., ~   
     Lim Lye Seng   
      
   Singapore's /Straits Times/ reports on the latter, a 60-year-old who is   
   accused of sabotaging seats on public buses on at least four occasions   
   over the summer.  He allegedly stuck toothpicks in bus seats, three   
   toothpicks each, with the pointier end up, so that commuters would   
   prick themselves.  Charged with four counts of mischief, he recently   
   told the court that he plans to plead guilty and hire a lawyer.  He   
   could face a year or more in jail.   
      
      
   Another silly man:   
      
   Responding to a complaint about an unresponsive person in a vehicle   
   parked near a pond, police officers in Mahwah, New Jersey, found   
   74-year-old Richard Haskell sleeping in his car with a clear bottle   
   of alcohol between his legs.  He was awakened, failed a field sobriety   
   test, and then was released to await a visit to court.  When Haskell   
   drove to the station a few hours later (just after noon) to see when   
   his car would be released to him, he was greeted with a second   
   sobriety test.  He now faces two charges of driving while intoxicated.   
      
   Anagram offering a future headline:   
     Harsh: "Car killed ~ Richard Haskell".
