This week, a Joint Award
Italian Comedienne Sabina Guzzanti and Italian Prosecutor Giovanni Ferrara 

[Let us pause while you roll those sexy names across your tongue.]

The long arm of justice in Rome is threatening to reach out and snag a jokester, possibly for 5 years in jail!

Why does Ferrara want Sabina in the pokey? Because she said that the way things are going in Italy, within 20 years, teachers in Italy would have to be hired by the Pope. Then she added, of course the Pope would have died by that time and be in hell where he would be tormented by homosexual demons.

Acccording to the Prosecutor who seems not to understand about comedians and their work, Sabina has committed the crime of "offending the honour of the sacred and inviolable person" of Benedict XVI.

This legal beagle is a guy who has obviously not seen Saturday Night Live or Jon Stewart or, God forfend, Chris Rock, all of whom have never met a person they couldn't violate.

But, look: Sitting in a Roman jail for a few years is so much better than the old days - being drawn and quartered and having your guts strung on a post where the crows can peck at 'em.

Of course, in jail, they say, you may be tormented by homosexual devils.
