KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - A news report says a Malaysian court has ordered two lovers to pay a fine of four buffaloes and a pig after they were found guilty of having an illicit affair.

The Star newspaper says the Native Court in Penampang district on Borneo island ruled Friday that the man and woman must compensate their communities with the animals, valued at about 6,000 ringgit ($1,800), for their tryst.

They were also fined 1,000 ringgit ($300) each.

The man's wife filed a complaint last year after finding her husband in shorts and her colleague in a sarong at the man's second home. The court rejected their claim that they were just "best friends."

They don't screw around with infidelity in Malaysia. Mess around of your better half and youre going to lose every pig, goat and chicken in your barn. Maybe they should start this sort of punishment for adultery in the U.S. Of course the entire U.S. buffalo population would be wiped out just to pay for Tiger Woods' transgressions.

P.S. - Did everyone get the word play in the title? It's a play on livestock. That's funny dammit.
