Scranton Woman Cited For Cursing At Toilet
 |
Freedom of speech has its limits, though, apparently. Take the case of West Scranton's Dawn Herb, who could face 90 days in jail and a $300 fine for cursing at her toilet.
Herb was attempting to get her toilet to stop overflowing when she called it a "fucking child rapist asshole motherfucker." Or, rather, she didn't call it that, but the article doesn't say what she said, so I made something up with a bunch of curses in it. She admits saying some "choice words," though, and her neighbor (a police officer) heard them.
“The toilet was overflowing and leaking down into the kitchen and I was yelling (for my daughter) to get the mop,” she said. “A guy is yelling, ‘Shut the fuck up,’ and I yelled back, ‘Mind your own business.’ ”
After somebody told this woman to "shut the fuck up," neighbor Patrick Gilman (an off-duty police officer), called the cops and had her arrested for disorderly conduct! In her own house! The citation accuses Herb of cursing "with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm or recklessly (creating) a risk."
So, if you're wondering, apparently it's illegal to annoy me now. Enjoy the archives of this website, ladies and gentlemen, because I am certainly going to jail for a life now.

I was going to use the title of that Blink 182 song -- "shit piss fuck" etc. -- but then I'd have to (a) look it up and (b) cite Blink 182.
