Blind man sentenced to library course

A blind Turkish pensioner has been sentenced to a 26-day reading and writing course at his local public library after he failed to vote on time in an election for his village cooperative.

What does the 73 year old pensioner have to say about this?
"What am I going to do in a library? I can't see out of either of my eyes, and I can't read or write anyway."

The Governments response
In Turkey, people are obliged by law to vote in elections.

Canseven's son is going to appeal his fathers sentence. In brief, he had this to say, "My father can only find the bathroom by holding on to a piece of string we've tied to the (bathroom) wall."

I'M SORRY BUT TURKEY COURTHOUSES ARE FILLED WITH BIRD BRAINS!!
