A ‘witch doctor’ has been jailed for eight months after claiming he could cure a blind man – by feeding him gherkins laced with LSD.
Jobless hairdresser Patrick Baecker, 35, posed as a mystic healer and told Axel Pfeffer he would make him see for £20,000.
The court in Fehmarn, Germany, heard how the former motorcyclist had tried everything to restore his sight after losing it in a crash.
But instead Baecker fed him pickles laced with powerful mind-bending hallucinogenic drugs to induce visions.
‘You are a hairdresser, not a shaman,’ Judge Markus Faerber told Baecker in court.
LOL
And then he told him,
“ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabingbang”
“Dammit, Jim, I’m a hairdresser not a shaman!”

Yes, the first thing that jumped out at me was "blind motorcyclist." LOL
I haven’t heard that song in years. Thanks for the link.
Thanks for all the links.
My pleasure, but now I’m going to be singing that song when I drive for days!
Actually this isn't all that different from the treatments implemented by actual shamans.
Roped in by another title! Can’t resist trying to figure out what they’re really trying to say.
do0d... you gotta see this, ping
A sham shaman? What a pickle.
Sounds like he got the idea from Tommy. Take him to the gypsy, the acid queen

With a headline like that, I think some journalist is jerkin’ yer gherkin.
He should feed some to Al Gore. It’ll cure global warming. Honest.
I see...
Whatever.
