Will the real "Prawo Jazdy" please stand up?
| Quote: |
Irish police have solved the mystery of a Polish recidivist who clocked up 50 traffic offences on different addresses and who was never caught, after one officer noticed his name meant driving licence in Polish.
An internal police memo cited by Irish papers on Thursday said officers taking details of Polish traffic offenders had been mistakenly using "Prawo Jazdy," printed in the top right corner of the driving licence, as the holder's name.
"Prawo Jazdy is actually the Polish for driving licence and not the first and surname on the licence," the police memo dated June 2007 said. "It is quite embarrassing to see the system has created Prawo Jazdy as a person with over 50 identities." |

It reminds me of the guy who got a Chinese character tattooed on his big bulging bicep only to find out later that it meant something like: Pork chops 25% off. |

There is a funny website devoted to deciphering the Chinese characters on tattoos (mostly on white people)..

Hmm. I tried it and it worked fine.
http://www.hanzismatter.com Maybe Korea-istan is blocking it? It is hosted on blogspot. Didn't they ban a bunch of blogstpot stuff a while back? |

| Irish mistaking a Polish Driver's License, I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere! |
