"Herr Weiss, vat are you vearing? Zounds zexy..."

Zudiegirl zez: Ach ja! This is very interesting stuff indeed, but it sounds like he hoisted himself on his own pitard; however, I don't get why he wasn't calling for the stimulation at least a little bit, ya know? There's a lot left to the imagination here...the usual snotty comments follow.

German court convicts man for sex hotline fraud
Wed Aug 3,10:28 AM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - A court in Germany convicted a man for fraud after he racked up huge phone bills phoning a sex hotline from work and split the proceeds with a woman working at the service, authorities said on Wednesday. (At least he was sharing! That's good, right?)

"He wasn't calling for the stimulation," said a spokesman for the court in the western city of Duesseldorf. (Again, are we sure about this?)

The court handed the 38-year-old an eight-month suspended jail sentence for the ruse which he cooked up with the hotline worker while working for a local medical insurer. (OK, for anyone who knows...refresh my memory. What is a suspended sentence? Does that mean they go or they don't go?)

German media said the man had made more than 160 calls within half a year, at a cost to his company of almost 16,000 euros (11,000 pounds). (Again, what's the value of a euro?)

Sudiegirl's final opinion?

"You're not dealing with AT & T."
