Best magistrates’ court story you’ll read this week
It’s not just the detail of what happened, it’s the straight-faced way those details are reported (in this case by the Guardian).

Here are a few highlights
A man has been fined for pretending to be a ghost and other rowdy behaviour in a cemetery.
The court heard that the 24-year-old had been out drinking with friends when they went to Kingston cemetery in Portsmouth, where they started to play football.
A Hampshire police spokesman said that witnesses complained to police about his rowdy behaviour and his pretending to be a ghost.
The witnesses reported the group engaging in rowdy behaviour and one of them throwing their arms in the air and saying ‘woooooo’,” he said.
something about the specific use of six “o”s for “woooooo” has tipped me over the edge
