一英国男子居然开了个很过火的玩笑。他居然把整瓶指甲油都涂满了同室女孩的脸上！ 女孩把男子告上法庭。

　　A man who daubed his sleeping flatmate's face with nail varnish as a practical joke.

　　虽然距离下一个愚人节还很遥远，不过一英国男子居然开了个很过火的玩笑。他居然把整瓶指甲油都涂满了同室女孩的脸上！

　　The two had shared a drink with friends before Miss Parle took two sleeping pills and went to bed just after midnight.

　　Prosecutor James Taghdissian told Exeter Crown Court: 'When she woke at 6am she was unable to open her eyes and panicked.

　　'She touched her face and hair and felt grease and other things. She managed to get to the bathroom and washed her face so she could open her eyes, then she phoned a friend to come to her assistance.

　　'Mahoney was identified as he was the only other person in the house that could have committed the assault.'

　　现年32岁的曼哈尼与女孩妮可拉本不相识，但是两人却有个共同的朋友，当晚因受邀约，两人前往好友家中，一起饮酒谈天到深夜。因为太晚所以两人就都住在好友客房中，不过女孩早上醒来时惊愕的发现自己眼睛睁不开了，用手摸上去满脸都是厚厚粘稠的东西，她费力摸索到洗手间用水冲洗干净。这才知道原来是有人在她脸上都涂满了指甲油。惊恐的女孩自然的想到是同睡一室的曼哈尼，愤怒之下立刻把男子告上法庭。

　　Mahoney was arrested and told police that the incident was only intended as a joke.

　　Mr Parkhill said his client had not been thinking clearly. He had undergone a personal crisis and was under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

　　But Mr Taghdissian told the court: 'But during the course of the interview it became obvious that he did not have as friendly relationship with Miss Parle.'

　　Recorder John Wright sentenced Mahoney to ten months behind bars.

　　曼哈尼被警察逮捕，并在听证会上承认了自己的所作所为。不过他说这只不过是个小恶作剧而已，这样做只是因为好玩，根本就没有恶意。而且他的律师说当晚曼哈尼喝了太多酒了，又吸食了些毒品，神志有些不清醒，就开了个小玩笑。

　　不过他们的朋友却是旁观者清，他说当时他们在喝酒聊天的时候，曼哈尼对女孩有些不满意，两人在言语中发生了些小口角，可能是曼哈尼想对女孩报复，所以才会这样做。法官也认为曼哈尼的玩笑有些过火，所以判处了他十个月的监禁。
