Thanks to my friend Dana Mitra who pointed this one out to me, from today's
Centre Daily Times. Look carefully at the headline and then the lead. Did the judge hand out condoms filled with acorns, or acorns filled with condoms? And more importantly, why?
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Police say a district judge from Intercourse, Pa., hid condoms inside acorns and handed them out to women in the state Capitol complex last week.
A summary charge of disorderly conduct was filed Tuesday against Isaac H. Stoltzfus, who presides over low-level cases as a district judge in Lancaster County. The citation from Capitol Police says the 58-year-old jurist gave the acorns to unsuspecting women, who were offended when they discovered the contents.
Stoltzfus' office referred questions to defense attorney Heidi Eakin, who didn't immediately return a phone message Wednesday.
Update 9/30: The CDT must have realized its error in the headline, because the website was changed:
