Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking

miniature flag portraits of US President George W. Bush into piles of

dog poo in public parks. Josef Oettl, parks administrator for Bayreuth,

said: " This has been going on for about a year now, and there must be

2,000 to 3,000 piles of excrement that have been claimed during that

time. "

The series of incidents was originally thought to be some sort of

protest against the US-led invasion ofIraq. And then when it continued

it was thought to be a protest against President George W. Bush's

campaign for re-election. But it is still going on and the police say

they are completely baffled as to who is to blame. " We have sent out

extra patrols to try to catch whoever is doing this in the act, " said

police spokesman Reiner Kuechler. " But frankly, we don't know what we

would do if we caught them red handed. " Legal experts say there is no

law against using feces as a flag stand and the federal legal experts

say there is no law against using feces as a flag stand and the federal

constitution is vague on the issue.

This could be a companion piece to the Bush stickers used in urinals.
