The Dutch have something in common with Afghanis

"A frustrated Afghan soldier who could not afford to get married has been released without charge after being caught having sex with a donkey, police said Tuesday.

"The soldier, who was not identified, was detained for several days last week after a young boy spotted him with the animal in an abandoned house in the southeastern town of Gardez.

"'The man insisted he had no other choice but the donkey because he could not afford to pay a dowry to get married,' a local police officer told Reuters."
