N.O.R.F Posted November 28, 2006 A South African man has been fined $140 for taking a week off work, telling his employers he was pregnant. Charles Sibindana, 27, stole a certificate from a clinic during his pregnant girlfriend's checkup, a court near Johannesburg heard. He then added his own details to the note and submitted it and took seven days off work, seemingly unaware that only women consult gynaecologists. His employers became suspicious and investigated the matter. On passing sentence Magistrate Bruno Van Eeden warned Mr Sibindana "not to walk around faking sick letters from gynaecologists" as if he was pregnant, the South African Press Association news agency reported. kixkixkixkix http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/6190772.stm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted November 28, 2006 You know this is not far-fetched. They could actually transplant uterus in man who presumedly can carry a baby. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khayr Posted November 28, 2006 He must have very slow employers from them to have give him the 7days off work. It took them 7days to crack his lie....lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strawberry_Xu Posted November 28, 2006 well my grandfather seems to die at least twice every semester, so I totally understand the depths someone will sink to just to get a day off. If pregnancy will get me a whole week off, then ladies and gentlemen, as of today, I've got a bun cookin' in the oven. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing you should probably take a little more than a week off if you say you're pregnant.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
