An early ode to Halloween

> This was in the Washington Post...the title of the

> Comeback Line Ever."
> Police arrested Patrick Lawrence, a 22-year-old
> white male, resident of
> Dacula, GA, in a pumpkin patch at 11:38 p.m.
> 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, and
> there was no one around
> here for miles. At least I thought there wasn't," he
> stated in a phone
> interview from the Lawrenceville jail.
>
> Lawrence went on to state 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 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 past midnight
> already?"
