] -- A man who erased his drunk-driving record from a
] police computer and replaced it with a winking "smiley
] face" graphic ended up with a suspended license and a
] fine when police failed to see the funny side.
] The 19-year-old computer whiz had been arrested for drunk
] driving and summoned to appear in court in Besancon, in
] eastern France, the French daily Liberation reported
] Tuesday. Finding an unmanned computer as he arrived at
] the police station for his hearing, the man decided to
] test the good humor of the court by sneaking into the
] database.
