Pointy-eared actor, Leonard Nimoy, was earlier today briefly behind bars in a California jail after having 'lost it big style' with a fan.
Nimoy, who played William Shatner in Voyager, is it seems, getting fed up with people coming up to him in the street and calling him Dr Spock.
Speaking from his cell he told The Spoof:
"I am getting really fed up with this mistake happening again and again. I know sod all about parenting or kids in general and what's more, I couldn't give a bleedin' monkey's chuff!"
Long time co-star and colleague James T Kirk visited his pal in chokey and shortly afterwards told the press posse:
"If a picture paints a thousand words...She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge...Scotty! Give me warp factor 7" before adding:
"Leo's fine and I've just smuggled him in a phaser so I reckon we'll see him out here in a moment or two"
And sure enough, no sooner had he said this, when Nimmoy appeared running from the jail and next thing both he and Kirk shimmered a bit in front of us before seeming to disappear into thin air.
It's though that street magician David Blaine was behind the stunt but he too was nowhere to be seen at the scene.
Sheriff John Burnell told us that there is a price on Nimoy's head but that anybody spotting him should on no account say 'Hi Dr Spock', or you could end up getting a Vulcan death-grip or mind-meld. Both of which are scary shit!
