A very jealous wife thought her hubby was banging the house maid and set a trap.
She sent the maid home for the weekend and did not mention this to her hubby.
That night her hubby stood up to have a pee as usual and while he was in the toilet she quickly undressed and slid into the maids room and bed.

After dropping the pink powder for the gender reveal, the wing of the plane appears to fold in causing the aircraft to crash.

Algerian-born Muslim cleric Abdul Benbrika will be released from prison on a supervision order for 12 months following a ruling by Victoria state Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Hollingworth. Police had argued for the order to last for three years.
Benbrika must wear an electronic ankle bracelet to track his movements and abide by a nightly curfew. The 63-year-old was convicted in 2008 of three terrorism charges related to a plot to cause mass casualties at a public event in Melbourne. No attack took place.
He was sentenced to 15 years in prison and would have been released in 2020.
But his sentence was extended by three years under a recent law that allowed the continued detention of prisoners convicted of terrorism offences if a judge ruled they posed an unacceptable risk to the community if released.
