Sandwich-flinger Avery Ng Man-yuen was released pending an appeal
A pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong has been sentenced to three weeks in prison after he threw a tuna sandwich at the territory's former leader CY Leung, it's been reported.
Mr Leung ducked what he later called a "stinky fish sandwich", and the ballistic buttie hit Hong Kong's acting chief inspector of police Lau Wing-kwan instead, The Standard newspaper says .
Mr Ng told the court that he had thrown the sandwich at Leung because he was looking "very smug", but had been expecting him to catch it.
During his mitigation, South China Morning Post reports that Mr Ng told the magistrate: "I hope you understand that no deterrent sentence will work on me."
But passing the prison sentence, the magistrate said Mr Avery Ng was "only making up excuses to rationalise his behaviour".
There's definitely something fishy about this entire story . . .

We need to start having background checks before you can get a tuna sandwich! A ban in tuna sandwich is even better.
A blind man walks by a tuna dealer, says "hello ladies!"
Oh no you didn't!
It could have been worse. At least a tuna sandwich is healthier than most sandwiches. The most important question is whether it was on white or brown.
Make mine on Hardy White!
