Ex-Judge Denies Using Sex Device in Court
By KELLY KURT
Associated Press Writer

June 27, 2006, 10:54 PM EDT (AP)

"BRISTOW, Okla. -- A former county judge testified Tuesday that he kept
a sexual device under his courtroom bench but called it a gag gift and
denied ever using it, saying to have done so in open court 'defies
common sense.'

"Donald Thompson, who faces four felony counts of indecent exposure,
took the stand in his own defense after his former court reporter
testified she had seen him expose himself during trials at least 15
times between 2001 and 2003.

"Thompson testified that a penis pump seized in the case was given to
him as a joke by a longtime hunting and fishing buddy. He said he kept
the pump under the bench and sometimes in his office, saying 'it wasn't
something I was hiding.'
He added that he may have absentmindedly squeezed the pump's handle
during court cases but never used it to masturbate."

A lesson to all guys: Absentmindedness has its limits.

Exposing the Judiciary, news at 11.

There must be some kind of evolutionary connection to this? Anybody in
here care to comment? Seems that every kind of behavior, from picking
ones nose to being kind to a stranger has a gene attached to it. Never
seen, never proved but reported as fact by the evo-media.

Too bad the ToE at its present state is only useful to produce flavors
for the food industry and fill fictional programing on the Discovery
channel.

It's given you a reason to live (more's the pity)...
