Crime of First Degree Yawning
The commander of the Ramat David Air Force base has sentenced a soldier to 21 days in prison for yawning during a memorial service commemorating the 13th anniversary of the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. The soldier yawned during the commander's speech. The commander put the soldier on trial for disrespectful behavior. More specifically, he says the soldier showed contempt for Rabin's memory. I think the commander was insulted that the soldier dared to yawn during his speech. "My speeches are not boring!", he must have thought to himself as he sent the young man to jail.

Remember, Remember the 4th of November
Remember, remember the Fourth of November,
The Handgun Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason,
Why Handgun Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Yigal Amir, t'was his intent,
To kill Prime Minister Rabin.
Three more bullets to go,
To prove old democracy's overthrow;
After the murder he was catch'd
With a dark smile and burning rage.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, at Yitzhak Rabin square,
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the celebrities sing there.
