Man Fined For Saying This Word On Flight

A 65-year-old Australian man has been fined nearly $7,000 by a Singapore court for uttering a four letter word on a flight. Want to take a guess what the word was?

'Bomb'. And retiree Riccardo Paulin pleaded guilty to asking a flight attendant "Where do you keep the bomb?" on a Singapore-based SilkAir flight to Indonesia.

A newspaper reported that he made the remark after trying to find space in the overhead lockers - when he apparently couldn't.

Paulin was charged under the anti-terrorism regulations and could have faced a fine ten times larger, even jailtime.

He apologized to the court for his remark, and said it was meant as a joke.
