CALGARY SUN, October 8th, 2005
Best comeback line
police arrested Ward Branham, a 22-year-old white male, resident of Lethbridge, Alberta, in a pumpkin patch at 11:38 p.m on Friday.
Ward will be charged with lewd and lascivious behaviour, public indecency, and public intoxication at the Calgary courthouse on Monday.
The suspect explained that as he was passing a pumpkin patch he decided to stop. "You know, a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around there for miles. At least I thought there wasn't," he stated in a phone
interview.
Ward went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purposes, cut a hole in it, and
proceeded to satisfy his alleged "need."
"I guess I was just really into it, you know?" he commented with evident embarrassment.
In the process, Ward apparently failed to notice a police car approaching and was unaware of his audience until female officer Brin Taylor approached him.
"It was an unusual situation, that's for sure," said officer Taylor. "I walked up to (Ward) and he's...just working away at this pumpkin."
Taylor went on to describe what happened when She approached Ward.
"I just went up and said, "Excuse me sir, but do you realize
that you are screwing a pumpkin?"
He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then looked me straight in the face and said,
."A pumpkin? Damn...is it midnight already?"
I nabbed this from a friend in Canada's LJ. I thought ya'll would get a giggle out of it. :yowsa:
