And here I thought the story was going to involve some sexual double
entendre. Well, I guess the "government coming down hard" on the
miscreants might be so construed; but I hardly see how innocuous
political slogans like "get up, stand up [stand up for your rights]"
can be called "mischevious".

Robert Mugabe is a nasty **** with no sense of humor, the head of a
government of thugs. I salute the stampers of the notes for their
courage.
