Viewed From Another Perspective

[goldenponderbob]

Did anyone hear about Otto Nobetter, the state representative,
who was arrested last month for mowing his lawn.

Seems city officials had become curious about his behavior.

One of the few residents in town who still did his own
landscaping.

So they staked out his house. Plainclothes officers watched
closely as he did his weekly chores, and when they had had
enough of his improper gestures and mannerisms, they closed
in.

They said the way he moved his hips at the end of each pass
as he turned the mower was erotically suggestive. A sort of
public advertisement to any neighbors who might take it as a
solicitation.

One officer spoke with him over the fence while fakingly
mowing the property next door. He found his responses to
be "not as innocent as they should be".

The officer concluded that indeed the fellow had committed
the crime of "suggested mannerisms".

It became the officer's unpleasant duty to charge Mr. Nobetter,
and suggest methods of ejudication by which the incident could
be kept quiet so as not to cause him to lose standing in the
community.

For a meer three hundred dollar fine, and no court appearance,
he could get on with his life. Oh, but he ought to consider
getting a lawnservice, and they even offered to suggest a few.

They did not know when they arrested him that he was, in fact,
their state's legislative representative, they assumed he was
just a private citizen with a reputation to protect.

Mr. Nobetter contacted the FBI and eventually found out the
town's police and court systems had been pulling this scam
on lots of people who still did their own lawns.

They counted, of course, that their pigeons would quietly pay
the fine and do whatever was asked to keep the embarrassing
business hush-hush.

Unfortunately, the FBI told Mr. Nobetter, they could not help,
because, extortion though it may be, it was, in fact, legal.

So Mr. Nobetter decided to do exactly what the scammers did not
expect. He made a loud public stink about it. Yes, instead of
keeping quiet, and after much humiliation and ridicule, he
finally turned the "light of day" the scam and ran the bastards
out of town.

I made up this little story just to show that a little foot tapping at an airport could be examined fromn a completely different perspective, if one has enough immagination.
