The only human member of the Looney Tunes, MP Wimal Weerawanse today said that they real reason behind his hunger strike was to try and escape prison by getting slim in enough to slide out in between his prison cell bars.
Speaking over the phone from jail, the nut job said, “I’ve tried to escape a few times but I’ve only managed to get one arm through so far. If I can lose twenty kilogrammes, I should be able to squeeze out of here. I have the support of the other inmates who have said that they would also like to see me go as I am tarnishing their good name as criminals by associating with them. I’m combining this fast with some exercise in the form of running as I won’t be able to even run for elections in the future.”
“The charges have been made against me have been blown out of proportion. They say I misused state vehicles. All I admit to is once trying to fill an electric car with diesel. It’s a mistake easily made. I also once went from second to fourth gear by passing third. These, together with the fact that I probably took commissions should not result in a jail sentence,” he added.
