Another Newsflash
Thanks to alert reader, commenter, and friend Tulipgirl, I have become aware of another news item that is related to this one, only in the sense that it can get you arrested.
It seems to me that if you were planning to attack or just plain annoy a police officer, it would be much more acceptable to do it with a hug than with a fart. However, it appears from this article that either one would get you placed in handcuffs at the least.
I wonder if the hugger was charged with battery?
Regardless, you can never accuse me of not being helpful. Now you, dear readers, have been made aware that if you are ever stopped by an officer, you should 1-make sure to control your bodily functions and do NOT pass gas, and 2-control your urge to show affection to said police officer. Otherwise you, too, could be the subject of a battery charge. And a really embarrassing newspaper article. Not to mention the subject of ridicule on certain blogs….
I’m just sayin.’
