A man appearing before the Judiciary in Poland has told how a road rage incident in Warsaw was caused by listening to the William Tell Overture, a classical piece of music first written in the 19th Century.
The 61 year old semi-retired chicken plucker was driving his vehicle down a major thoroughfare when the music came on his MP3 player. The driver was then transformed into a maniacal state which caused him to start abusing every other road user as they drove past him.
Phrases that essentially questioned people's parentage and accused them of pederasty behaviour were gratuitously shouted from the man's vehicle, leading to many calls to local law enforcement officers.
The man was quickly intercepted and placed under 48 hour arrest lest he do more embarassing performances.
In court today the man was at one stage asked if he was in fact Gordon Brown, however he refused to confirm or deny this point. Typical!
