I was partaking in my favorite procrastination pasttime…surfing the web…when I came across this post in a blog sponsored by Boston.com/The Boston Globe. The hilarious thing about this article is not the content, but the comments that follow it. 

This is one of my favorites:

Well, Flynne, not everybody who reads the reporting in the Globe lives in Brookline…shocking, I know…so not all of us who have to deal with wild turkeys are doing so while walking around Coolidge Corner. So, those of us who do not live in Brookline (and there are QUITE a few of us…again, I know this is shocking) actually DO appreciate the “ingenious” garden hose suggestion.

Brookline is not the center of the universe. Imagine that.

There is some serious hatred of Brookline and Newton residents. I mean, I think Brookline and some of its residents are really annoying and self-righteous in many ways, but I don’t feel the hatred like some of these people. I do have to say, however, I found myself laughing more often than not. If you are a sensitive Brookline resident that can’t take a joke, then don’t read the comments. For everyone else, make sure you scroll down. It’s hilarious!

At approximately 9:35pm on Saturday, 3/29/08 officers arrested, James Mahan, 45, of Boston and charged him with Indecent Exposure, and Disorderly Conduct.

Officers were at the MBTA train at the Forest Hills MBTA station pursuant to an investigation when they had to board a train. Officers boarded the train that had numerous male, female and children occupants heading inbound when they observed an individual standing up and facing the door. Officers observed the suspect adjusting his zipper while standing and continued to monitor the suspect. Officers shortly thereafter observed the suspect removed his private parts from his pants, and ordered him to zip up his pants, and get off the train. The suspect stated to officers “It’s too late!” At this time officers observed the suspect start to urinate all over the floor of the train causing people to scatter and scurry away from the suspect.

The suspect was consequently arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct, and Indecent Exposure.
