Boys Will Always Be Boys!
Apparently boys will be boys, even if they're in the Israeli parliament. Shai Piron, Israel's education minister, burst into a laughing fit that has now gone viral on Israeli websites. It seems Mr. Piron, who is also a rabbi, could not get past the first sentence of his address, on a proposed law against smuggling cell phones into Israel's prisons, before losing it. The line that cracked him up: "Mr. Chairman, distinguished Parliament, the aim of this legislation is to deal with a serious phenomenon - the penetration of prohibited objects into prisons!" He briefly recovered but broke down again over the perceived sexual innuendo when the word "penetration" came up in the text for a second time. Legislators in the hall joined in the giggling. Struggling to continue, Piron wiped tears from his eyes, took a sip of water - and finally went back to his seat, unable to finish his speech. (Reuters)
