This is the first thing I've ever posted that's a follow-up to something I was talking about in a dressing room. And no, that's not some kind of transvestite chat room, it's a room in a theater, where actors dress. Michael Harris and Ed Prostak, I think it was you guys -- how're you doin,' by the way -- who I was telling a couple of weeks ago about the judge who got in trouble for repeatedly MASTURBATING WHILE COURT WAS IN SESSION, FROM THE BENCH. There was a follow-up in the NY Post yesterday (Friday):
"'Rub-a-dub' judge: Not me
OKLAHOMA CITY (Post Wire Services) -- A magistrate accused of fondling himself and using a "penis pump" during murder trials pleaded not guilty yesterday to indecent-exposure charges.
Donald Thompson, 59, swore that he did not play with himself while wielding the firm hand of justice during proceedings in his courtroom.
Thompson is charged with repeatedly pleasuring himself and using the pump during criminal and civil hearings in the court."
According to previous reports from the Post it was courtroom employees who turned in this most injudicious judge, after it had taken them some considerable time to figure out just what in the hell he was doing. The stenographer had been indicating in the trial transcripts that there were wooshing noises coming from the bench, and someone else even saw the damn pump. And occasionally the guy would groan. He told them he had asthma.
Anyway, I was telling Michael and Ed about this during Mikado and suggested I should take a penis pump out of my briefcase in Trial by Jury. But I don't do tricks like that anymore, Al, don't worry (heh, heh, heh).
Yes, the Post. The New York Post. Val insists on this grubby lowest common denominator tabloid because it's only a quarter, can't argue with that, and you can read the whole thing in about 20 minutes. An extra 6 minutes if you read the THREE SEPARATE CELEBRITY GOSSIP PAGES (like Val) or the police blotter and the "Strange but true" factoids (like me). I believe the Post boasts the city's most ridiculously extensive sports coverage, so right there is a third of the paper whose pages I never even separate. There's no denying it's the 25 cent paper to turn to when you want perverts in every issue, including Michael Jackson at least three times a week. But that 25 cents doesn't include the price of having to look at candid photos of Sarah Jessica Parker EVERY SINGLE DAY.
The penis pump judge made me LOL!!!! They ought to have an episode based on the 'rub-a-dub judge'on 'Law and Order' (I'm addicted the show)
The NY post is scum!
"Long live the post."
