If ever you're in Singapore and have a yen to sniff the armpits of passing women - don't do it! On Friday, a Singapore native who had a thing about sniffing women's armpits was sentenced to 14 years in jail and 18 strokes of the cane. Mind you, he did have previous convictions for sex-offenses and, apparently, he is mentally unstable.

Having spent a blissful 15 months sniffing at the armpits of women he met in lifts, on staircase landings, and in their own homes, the snooping snuffler was finally apprehended when a housewife reported him to the police.

In Singapore, caning on the buttocks is an additional punishment for male criminals who have committed offences ranging from vandalism to illegal possession of drugs and rape.
