Instant Karma and Stealing from Sarah Silverman

Teen Faces Litter Charge for Bra Antenna

Oct 12, 6:57 PM (ET)
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - A teenager who put her bra on a car antenna before it flew off and led to a highway accident will be charged with littering, a prosecutor said. Emily Davis, 17, of Bowling Green, told investigators she took her bra off while her friend was driving on Interstate 75.

James Campbell, who was driving behind the girls, said he swerved to avoid the bra and his car flipped several times. Campbell, 37, broke a vertebra in his neck during the Sept. 26 accident. His passenger, Jeff Long, 40, broke several ribs.

A State Highway Patrol crash report, obtained by The Blade, said that the girls told investigators that before the accident the men were motioning to them to lift up their shirts. Both men denied making the gestures.

Davis will be charged next week with misdemeanor littering, said Tim Atkins, a juvenile prosecutor in Wood County. Atkins said he'll meet with troopers before filing the charge.

The girl's friend, Tabitha Adams, 17, of Bowling Green, said she told Davis not to hang her bra outside because she knew it would fly away, according to the report.

Atkins said no other charges were expected.

A littering charge for the teens? Yeah, what-ev-er*

Flipping your car and literally breaking your neck as the result of trying to get some teenaged girls to show you their mammalian protuberances? Oh that's instant karma, baby.

And I now have a whole new appreciation for Toledo. No wonder Max Klinger wanted to get back there so desperately that he wore women's clothing for several season of M*A*S*H. I must have missed the "Girls Gone Wild: Toledo" ads on the TV.

* What's the best group of letters to indicate the smacking of chewing gum? Anyone? Anyone?

Man Who Urinated in Soda Has Shy Bladder

Oct 12, 6:27 PM (ET)

DELAND, Fla. (AP) - A man who was jailed for urinating in a drink that was consumed by and sickened a convenience store customer could be in trouble again, this time because he can't produce that bodily fluid.

Anthony Mesa, 22, was sentenced to six months in jail and two years of a form of house arrest for urinating in the bottle of Mountain Dew and must also periodically take a urine drug test. Mesa said Wednesday, however, that he has a condition called shy bladder which affects his ability to urinate in public and therefore to take the drug test. He had failed to take a court-ordered test Sept. 19, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

"Anthony's little prank has taught him a great deal, and the irony of it all is that peeing was what got him trouble in the first place, and now not being able to is getting him trouble again," Mesa's mother, Denise Hislop, wrote to court officials.

Mesa has offered to take the test another way, including with a blood sample.

Mesa, a former convenience store clerk at a Pix store in Deltona, pleaded no contest to tampering with a consumer product. A construction worker who purchased the drink he urinated in began vomiting after drinking the product.

Deltona Police reported that the construction worker did not take into consideration that convenience store clerk Anthony Mesa might consider himself to be "Chinese" and therefore be apt to "play joke."

Okay, so that bit of politically incorrect humor was stolen directly from Sarah Silverman, although she was referring to an entirely different incident.
