Former STONE ROSES frontman IAN BROWN told prison authorities that he was Muslim so he could get better food in jail. The rocker, who in 1999 served two months in a Manchester, England, jail for threatening an air stewardess, didn't fully convert to Islam - he just wanted to eat the food on the Muslim menu. Brown says, "My sister bought me the Koran in 1990. I always thought the stories in it were magical. "So I'd already had a love affair with it, but when I got in jail the first day, I saw what everyone else was eating. I didn't know what the f**k was in the pies, but the lads said if you were Muslim you got chickpeas, lentils, rice, chicken curry on a Friday. "So I said my religion was Muslim." (FA/NCM/GES)
According to Sharia law the penalty for renouncing Islam is death. That's a high price to pay for some pot-pies.
Yep, today's nincompoop alert for sure.
Here comes the Fatwa...
Chicken Pot Pie
When we were young, bernie's deli was down the block
(ooh ooh ooh ooh)
He made a great liver pate
(you know he did, you know he did, you know he did)
But if there's one thing in this world that I like better
Than a corned beef on rye
It's chicken pot pie
Chicken pot pie
(chorus of chicken-cluck imitations)
-WEIRD AL YANKOVIC
He sold his soul for a choice of menu.
