WIFE WAS BATTERED WITH FISH
By Rod Chaytor

DRUNK husband John Cole faced the scales of justice for hitting his wife Elaine with a fish.

A court heard the hung-over former fork-lift driver woke up in a rage thinking she had hidden two cans of beer.

He punched the ex-barmaid after hitting her with the 8lb pike from their kitchen during Tuesday's row.

Cole, 54, of Sedgley, West Mids, admitted common assault. He was given a six-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £70 costs by Dudley magistrates.

After Wednesday's hearing, regretful Cole said he couldn't bring himself to eat the pike.

He revealed: "I fed it to our cats and dogs."

Elaine, 49, said she forgave him but added: "I could've been seriously hurt or killed by that fish."

People are finding all kinds of creative uses for fish lately. Perhaps we need legislation enacted such "assault with a deadly Tarpon".

No need for a ban, just "reasonable safegaurds" like a three day waiting period for a fishing permit, background checks at fish stands, and no more than one fish a month.

Awww, he has nothing to carp about; the fine was only 70 clams and 6 months probation.  Surely, he didn't do it on porpoise and he won't make it a halibut.

Fish control would never work. You can pick up a fish on the street, from the guys down by the river, any time you want.

Sure they are carp, not the kind you would hang on the wall or show off to your friends, but in a battering incident, many wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

As long as we maintain the regulations on the number that can be posessed, I say, we will be ok.

Sure some of you will say the posession limits are fish controls, but these have been around for a long time. Leave it be, and let the chips fall where they may.
