    “That’s right. The dog ate the weapon.”
    F*%#king priceless. As a Public Defender, it is stories like these that offer me, not only endless entertainment, but also, a sense of job security.

    As judges in the American Royal BBQ, we are perplexed by assaulting someone with … dry rub. Perhaps if you had a lot of paper cuts?
    This news story was all the chit-chat today!

    ‘Deputies’, he said, ‘had no problem linking the suspect to the crime.’
    Sausage – linking – get it? I wonder if he said that on purpose?
    Thanks for the laugh – that was hysterical!

    Jealous lovers are now referred to as “burglars”? I’ll have to remember that one. “It was a burglar, honey. Ummm…without his pants! Armed with a sausage! I swear!”
