MANITOBA Judge makes unprecedented ruling. Another case of truth being
stranger than fiction...

WINNIPEG , MANITOBA (CP) -A seven-year-old Winnipeg , Manitoba boy was
at the center of a Winnipeg city courtroom drama yesterday when he
challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.

The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge
initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law
and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree
possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him
more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When
the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy
alleged they had also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning
that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the
judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who
should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child
welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers, whom the boy and judge both firmly believe are not capable
of beating anyone.

Gosh, this was almost funny the first 100 times I saw it, usually with the
Toronto Maple Leafs as the team. Will this be resurrected again at the end
of the Moose season, who also seem to be a lost cause this year?

A recycled joke was circulated in my office a couple of months ago:

A recent Bomber practice was postponed for two hours
following discovery of a mysterious white powdery substance on their
practice field. Fearing a terrorist plot, a hazardous materials team was
brought in upon which it was determined the substance the team couldn't
identify was the goal line.
