The Hungry Hippo
OVERWEIGHT preacher of hate Abu Hamza has given prison officials a list of demands after telling his lawyer: “I’m starving in here.”
Hamza, 49, who weighs about 20 stone, has told jail chiefs he wants more and better food, extra phone time and an end to constant strip searches.
The former imam of Finsbury Park Mosque in north London, who is fighting extradition to the US, also objects to squatting during searches as it contravenes Islamic law.
Hamza, who has hooks after losing both hands, is serving seven years at Belmarsh prison in south London for soliciting the murder of non-Muslims and inciting racial hatred.
Inmates of the category A jail, which houses some of Britain’s most dangerous prisoners, have branded Hamza the “Hungry Hippo” because of his vast bulk. A prison insider said: “It was a label which instantly stuck – he’s a big man and everyone knows him for wearing that grey outfit. When word got round that he was moaning about being hungry, it seemed an obvious title.”

Twenty stone is about 280 pounds, sheesh! The fat bastard could certainly stand to miss a few meals, but what the heck, let's send him some food:

Psssst. I know a knot or two and have some stout rope, that will handle well over 20 stone and I have no objection of him leaving for his conjugal visit with the 72 lovely maidens on a full tummy.

I just did away with Lil' Wolfie's (my ten year old Cub)....."Hungry Hippo" game.
The problem with a "Putz" is that sometimes too many "regular" folk think that they are special.
I agree wholeheartedly with Jack. Oh, and I have some rope too........

Linda, that was very insensitive of you. Shame, shame...
Have you ever tried to open a can of Spam with only hooks for hands?
I think a better option would be bags of pork rinds. Easy open...
Try to be more tolerant next time, will ya?
