This Fruit Won't Fly

  60 year old British Pastor David Morris has been accused in court of molesting a girl between December 1995 and December 1996. The touchy preacher has a rather comical defense for a dispicable crime. Mr. Morris claims that the girl, who was 12 at the time mistook a banana in his pocket for a part of his anatomy.

  The court was told that the girl reported his behaviour to her mother who stopped the private tutoring sessions but continued to associate with the pastor, who also took the girl for drinks at a pub and underwear shopping.

  While the trial will continue and more evidence will be heard, the sheer gall of David Morris is astounding. Exactly how stupid does he think people are? I hope the justice reads him the riot act upon sentencing him for not only being a pervert, but trying to pervert justice.
