In other insane news from Florida, Dawn notes a press clip sent from a loyal reader. It seems that after being cut off in traffic by a Mercedes-Benz, John Thomas Taylor, the front seat passenger in the offended Chevy Tahoe, mooned the Mercedes occupants in retaliation. Somehow the sheriff's office became involved, and Mr. Taylor was arrested. Unfortunately for him, the mooned luxury sedan contained a family with a 14-year-old son, meaning that amongst the charges against Taylor is "committing a lewd and lascivious act in the presence of a child younger than 16." The penalty? Up to 15 years in prison and lifelong monitoring as a sex offender.

awn recalls a college road trip to Florida with friends some years ago. Ogling another carload of young guys, Dawn fashioned a sign asking the other car's occupants to "Show Us Your Dicks." In return, they crafted a signed reply, "Fags!" (An accurate, if not too witty, observation.) Then one of the tasty-looking lads dropped trou and gave Dawn's car a good look at his delectable ass.

At the time, Dawn merely thought the incident entertaining, and noted the irony of offering up one's butt for inspection as an "insult" to a foursome of horny homosexuals. In today's more enlightened times, though, Dawn's original request would be branded a "solicitation to commit a felony," the frat boys' reply labeled anti-gay "hate speech," and the mooning incident considered a potential sex crime (did children in any other passing car catch a glimpse of asscrack?) meriting a long prison sentence and lifelong tracking as a sexually dangerous person. And we thought we were having fun.
