Now, I can hear this man's explanation to his wife as to what happened so she will bail him out of the pokie ... "Honest, I don't know what happened. The last thing I remember was opening the cell phone bill ..."

Australian man charged after tank rampage
Sat Jul 14, 3:27 AM ET
An Australian man allegedly used a restored army tank to destroy mobile phone towers on a rampage through Sydney early Saturday, police said.
Police said officers patrolling the western suburbs of Australian's largest city came across the privately-owned tank being used to destroy an electricity sub-station in the early hours of Saturday morning.
They followed the vehicle through several suburbs for 90 minutes as it smashed into mobile phone towers.
The low-speed pursuit, which police said averaged 30 kilometres (19 miles) an hour, finally arresting the driver after it stalled.
"The tank left a path of destruction in its wake, bringing down a number of mobile phone towers and relay sheds," New South Wales police said in a statement.
The 45-year-old driver was charged with a number of offices, including predatory driving, possessing a prohibited drug and using a weapon to avoid apprehension.
He will face a bail hearing later Saturday.
Police gave no reason why the man targeted mobile phone towers.
