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?
