News George Michael in Peeball Sensation George Michael has sensationally revealed that he has been an avid Peeballer for the last five years, and the incident that led to his recent arrest was a misunderstanding stemming from the Los Angeles Police Department's ignorance of the sport. George takes up the story. "Last Christmas I was walking around Venice Beach with a couple of friends and, as we'd been having a few drinks, I needed to relieve myself. I found a public convenience and, as I had a Peeball in my pocket, I popped it into the urinal, checked my watch and commenced my stand. I'd just broken through the surface and was well into the interior of the ball when I heard this voice behind me yelling 'What the hell are you doing?' "I was so startled that I turned to face what turned out to be a police officer without stopping my flow, spraying his shoes and drenching his trousers into the bargain. The next thing I know, I'm up in court on an indecent exposure charge. I never even had the opportunity to finish my stand". After being acquitted at trial George returned to the UK to a heroes welcome. "I'm just glad to be back," he said. "If I'm disturbed mid-stand again, I'll turn my head. Everything below the waist will remain absolutely motionless. Please note, the George Michael in question is an electrician from Scunthorpe and should in no way be confused with George Michael, the much-loved Wham! star who was quite clearly NOT playing Peeball at the time of his arrest.
