ORANGEBURG, S.C. — A South Carolina man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for stealing an $80 slab of meat. The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg reported Thursday that 51-year-old Mark Zachary of Orangeburg received the maximum sentence after jurors found him guilty Wednesday of shoplifting. Prosecutors said the sentence was justified because the Aug. 26 theft from Reid's grocery store in Orangeburg was his ninth offense.

Zachary testified he was "massaging" the meat, not stealing it.

Unusually for one of my lounge threads there is no double entendre. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.  :-)
