An irresponsible waster was today acquitted at the high court, when his father suddenly decided to drop the charges.
The young boy had taken a large proportion of his father’s wealth and become poverty-stricken, following an enthusiastic bout of conspicuous consumption. When famine struck, he was penniless and had to seek gainful employment with Porkers’r’Us, Inc. However, after a short while, the boy ingested rotted vegetation, and realized he should return to his home and seek employment there, which he did. The BBC has learned that the father lavished gifts of jewellery and couteur upon the son.
At a press conference later, the father spoke with some emotion. ‘My son was lost, but now he’s found; he was dead, but now he’s alive.’ Doctors confirmed that this was not a genuine case of resussitation, and have concluded that the father must have been speaking figuratively.
