    Maybe they wanted a budgie to serve in place of the canary beloved of miners of old. I suggest an immediate ground-penetrating radar search in order to locate the tunnel they're digging.

    My 2 cents...

    Filthy minds push other thoughts aside.

    A Budgie? Really?

    All that contraband was smuggled in, eh?

    Who would have thought that Paris Hilton knows someone in an Irish prison?

    It gets much, much worse.
