POTTY MOUTH
A Scranton, Pa., woman was cited for disorderly conduct when she shouted profanities at her overflowing toilet.
Dawn Herb was yelling for her daughter to get a mop when her toilet started to back up, but let a few other choice words fly that offended her neighbor who heard the tirade through an open bathroom window.
Herb's neighbor, an off-duty city police officer, asked the woman to keep it down, but when she continued, he reported the foul-mouthed woman to police.
Herb said she doesn't recall what she said that offended her neighbor. She could face up to 90 days in jail and a $300 fine.
American Civil Liberties Union attorney Mary Catherine Roper took issue with the citation. She said a person can't be prosecuted for swearing at a toilet or a cop.
Where's a dump button when you need one?

Gotta love it - you don't have the right to swear in your own home anymore because someone might overhear it and be offended.
Shut the windows, or shut the mouth...I guess that's the new rule. It's not called the crapper for nothin'. Looks like a case for Judge Judy.
Is that MY HURLEY GIRLY?
It leaves Mr.Thomas Crapper the inventor of this device spinning in his grave.
If I were arrested every time I cursed at my overflowing terlet,I'd be doin life 'bout now.
Nothing better than a warm throne on a cold winter's morn,eh?
Hopefully she'll get off with community service...cleaning the crapper in the judges chambers.
Sorry, but Chloe looks like she's in training to be a supermodel! :}
