This was in the Washington Post... the title of the
>>article was "Best
>>Comeback Line Ever."
>>
>>In summary, the police arrested Patrick lawrence, a
>>22-year-old white
>>male,resident of Dacula, GA, in a pumpkin patch at 11:38
>>p.m. on Friday.
>>Lawrence will be charged with lewd and lascivious
>>behavior, public
>>indecency, and public intoxication at the Gwinnett County
>>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 here for miles. At least I thought there wasn't,"
>>he stated in a
>>phone interview. Lawrence 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 "need." "I guess I was just really into it,
>>you know?" he
>>commented with evident embarrassment. In the process,
>>Lawrence apparently
>>failed to notice a Gwinnett County police car approaching
>>and was unaware of
>>his audience until officer Brenda Taylor approached him.
>>"It was an unusual
>>situation,that's for sure," said officer Taylor. "I walked
>>up to (Lawrence)
>>and he's...just working away at this pumpkin." Taylor went
>>on to describe
>>what happened when she approached Lawrence. "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?'"
