T, Erdman was actually suckered in a banking scam. He was more of a patsy than a criminal, though it doesn't matter in Switzerland. Fail a bank and you are doing time. It is like stealing cable in the USA. Different priorities. <g> No. I almost went to grad school at Yale, but I'm not Swedish. No jail. <g> I was run in once for a fight in a bar in Germany, but no charges were filed. Which was fair given that I didn't fight. A guy hit me and I simply held him until the cops showed up. I may have applied a bit more pressure than necessary, but it's hard to judge those sorts of things. However, the fight was the fault of my crowd. One of my belligerent friends poured out a stein of the local beer on the floor, saying it tasted like urinal cakes (when did Kenny ever taste them?). Those are definitely fighting words in every gasthaus in Germany.
