One Strange Fetish
I just had to post this guy's mug shot after a subscriber wrote to say he thought it was odd that the woman so quickly thought the man was suspicious. First, here's the story:

One Strange Fetish
A student studying in the library at Ohio's University of Cincinnati noticed a suspicious man near her. She went back to her studying until she felt something cold on her foot. She looked under the library table to see the same man there. "When I looked down, the person was on his knee with the syringe," she told police -- the man had apparently used it to spray a liquid on her foot. Campus police apprehended a suspect: Dwight Pannell, 43, who "admitted taking pictures of her feet," a spokesman said. "He said he was doing so because it was a new camera." Pannell was arrested eight years ago, too -- on charges of assaulting a woman in a university library with a syringe. (Cincinnati Enquirer) ...Yeah, but that was the old camera.
First, I'm sure that women are much more aware of "suspicious men" than the average man is. But that said, even I would be suspicious of this guy if he were loitering around me:
Yep: That's a mug all right! Photo courtesy University of Cincinnati Police. |
Heck: I'd probably call 911 on sight! And if he was crawling toward a woman with a lustful look in his eye and a syringe in his hand, I'd probably take him out myself.
Another story this week was about a guy in Oregon who set up a "Meet a Black Person" booth. A reader tipped me to this video -- probably the Oregon guy's inspiration. Be sure to watch it all the way to the end: the last line is priceless!

WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!---"meet a black guy". Seemed like he had a great time and met some interesting people. He could come down here, 7 miles north of Mexico, and we could add a version called "Meet a gringo"!

The guy in the mug shot sure does have a "caught-in-the-headlights" look, doesn't he???
And the guy in the video is absolutely priceless! You're right -- the guy at the very end provides real, um, "flair," maybe???
