News of the highly embarrassing : embracing edition

When it comes to humor, more often than not, I’m a 12 year-old boy. Thus, I’ve been periodically giggling about the following news item today:

Trooper gets eyeful from nude couple in I-90 stop [times]

The driver was also cited for embracing while driving, a misdemeanor.

I had no idea that one could be cited for embracing while driving. And now that I think about it, is it physically possible to embrace anything but the steering wheel while driving? I mean, embracing implies hugging to me and I just don’t see how that can happen. Call me unimaginative, I suppose. In any case, I’d imagine it’s going to be difficult filling out job and/or school applications for him in the near future.

In a semi-related item, am I the only one who wishes Charles Mudede [stranger] had picked up this story for his Police Beat?

Corvallis teen accused of sexually abusing horse [times]

The owners looked at the video monitor and saw the suspect preparing to assault the horse.

Not to make light of the seriousness of issue, but I am a fan of the way Mudede handles the weird and absurd. And really, this story is pretty bizarre.

    You’re right, someone else was doing it BUT that writer left The Stranger and Mudede’s taken it back over.
