[SOC] Best comback line ever

[W1EOF]

This is a great joke. Of course it never appeared in the Post of any other
newspaper. That's just an urban legend. However as weird as it sounds in
2002 police *did* catch a man in his backyard doing the same thing. He got
90 days in jail with no time off for any comedic talent.
