[SOC] Fwd: slightly off-color Halloween Story

----------  Someone else wrote this:  ----------

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 allegedly stated that as he was passing a pumpkin patch,
he decided to stop.

"You know, a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, much like ... well
you know what ... and there was no one around here for miles. At least
I thought there wasn't," he stated in a phone interview from jail.

Lawrence went on to state that he pulled over to the side of the road,
picked out a pretty 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, Lawrence apparently failed to
notice the 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 got real surprised, as you'd expect, and then looked me straight in
the face and said, 'A pumpkin? Damn ... Is it midnight already?'"

FYI, I have been hearing tale of a man arrested somewhere down south for 
doing just that... this may actually be an actual newspaper story :^)
