> DRESS CODE: Paul Cara, a London, England, social worker, lost his appeal
> to an industrial tribunal, which upheld his employer's limits on his
> work attire. The Hackney Social Services Department had allowed Cara to
> wear leggings, tights and blouses to work, but balked when he showed up
> in a skirt. "I feel oppressed," Cara said of the ruling. (Reuters)
> ...Maybe his bra is too tight.

> TWINS: A Lehman Brothers vice president pleaded guilty to criminal
> contempt in New York's Manhattan Criminal Court for paying his mechanic
> to serve jury duty for him. The impersonation came to light when the
> judge asked the mechanic, "Are you Andrew Levinson?" After replying
> "No, I'm not," the impostor excused himself for the rest room and never
> came back. Levinson was sentenced to 500 hours of community service.
> (AP) ...Great: I had to find the one honest mechanic in town.

> 1.5 WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL: Kenneth Dunn died in 1991. His wife, Pat, and
> h s mistress, Jean Cooper, are fighting in a Birmingham, England, court
> over which one gets to be buried beside him. Dunn had two identical
> houses -- right down to identical kitchen appliances, wallpaper and
> dogs named Kim -- one for each woman, spending half his time at each
> house. According to Pat, Dunn would joke, "If I forget who I'm with, at
> least I'll get the dog's name right." (Reuters) ...With luck, the judge
> will see there are two sides.

> BAKER'S DOZEN: Toni Tenner argues that she was faithful to her husband.
> It was one of her other 12 personalities, Andrea, that committed
> adultery, causing the breakup of her marriage. Tenner's suit to
> increase her alimony payments has made it all the way to the Kentucky
> Supreme Court. In an earlier ruling, an appeals court judge said that
> allowing her to prevail would be "more in keeping with the psychobabble
> prevalent on television talk shows than with sound jurisprudence." Her
> attorney argues back that "The personality that considered herself
> married ... had been 100 percent faithful." (AP) ...Fine: double the
> alimony, then give Toni her 1/13th share.

> DROVE HIM TO IT: David Guest, 33, of London, England, just got his
> driver's license. Such is normally not news, except that Guest has been
> trying for 17 years, and always failed the test. He took 632 driving
> lessons with eight instructors, crashing five cars in the process, to
> get to this point. "When I was told I'd passed, I bent down on my knees
> and thanked God," he said. "I feel like I have died and gone to
> heaven." (Reuters) ...And now, on to his dream profession: downtown
> London cabbie.
