] MAY 19--Meet Brenda Orme and John Meyers. The Louisiana
] couple got nabbed last Friday when they tried to have sex
] atop a water tower more than 200 feet above the ground.
] Meyers, 44, told Slidell cops that he and Orme, 45,
] wanted to get busy "on top of the world." We know this
] thanks to the amusing press release work of Lt. Rob
] Callahan, whose handiwork can be found on the following

] included Callahan's entertaining update, which includes a
] quip from his boss, Chief Freddy Drennan: "I guess this

] Meyers and Orme each face criminal trespass and
] disturbing the peace charges. (3 pages)

The pictures are the best part!

They needed a change of scenery. Trailer too boring.

There's a corresponding article for girls at http://www.nycpulse.com/web/articles/fashion/nov/112602a.htm

I find it amusing when there is a trend in modern society that most people don't find attractive or interesting, but it seems to be extremely popular nonetheless.

I read the article about womens' fashion and I am pleased to report that I believe that I am just perfect. (Actually so are most of the women I know.) How? I do not follow "fashion". Therefore I cannot commit any "fashion errors". Ha.
