Sniffing Petrol

This is a really funny article I came across in a local Australian newspaper:

Two Lebanese men carrying 800 ml of petroleum were caught by police in a bus on the way to Bondi Beach. One of them said he wanted to sniff petrol (you mean that is actually allowed in Australia?), and another said he wanted to help a mate in Bondi Beach who had run out of fuel.

I think the sniffing petrol excuse is really creative, and obviously the judge agrees with me. The guy who said he wanted to help his mate in Bondi Beach was refused bail, whereas the guy who said he wanted to sniff petrol was granted bail.
