A man charged with flashing has made the inspired claim that he could not have committed the offence because his penis is too tiny.

The 54-year-old defendant, a deliveryman identified only as Herbert O, appeared in court in the appropriately-named town of Leer in Lower Saxony. He is accused of allowing his member to hang out of his trousers while delivering a package at the house of a teenage girl.

In what must be a first, Herbert's defence rested on the oldest legal limerick in existence*. His own wife took to the stand to confirm that he was so minutely endowed it could not possibly have protruded from his trousers. The judge declined to examine Herbert's old chap herself, and ruled that the coroner's office should measure it before she came to a decision. Apparently this may take some weeks.

Court Manager Norbert Bruns said "we've never seen anything like this before".

*There was a young lawyer called Rex, whose parts were too small to have sex. When charged with exposure, his plea on disclosure was de minimis non curat lex. Ithangyew.
