The Drunk Monk

Monk poses as husband

Phnom Penh - A drunken Cambodian monk who jumped into a woman's bed posing as her husband was found out when she reached out to stroke her partner's hair and felt a shaven head instead, police said on Friday.

Police said monk Prak Rasmey, 25, had visited the family's home complaining he needed medical treatment for a swollen finger and, knowing the husband was an alcoholic and a gambler, rewarded him for his help with rice wine and money to play cards.

The scheming monk then returned when he was sure the husband was away gambling, and the wife, smelling alcohol on the interloper's breath in the dark, assumed the man who snuck into her bed was her boozing husband.
