As far as indecent exposures.... too bad it's too cumbersome to carry a
digital camera while running. I bet that would make for some interesting
6:00 news coverage.


Those new cell phones w/ camera's are becoming quite popular and I
believe I've heard about a report or 2 where crimes were caught on the
phone and the photos delivered to the policy who could make a capture
based on it.

I love that! And most people find a way to take their phone with them when
they run off the beaten path, so to speak.

I am highly doubtful of that...


Drop and 8 pound dumbbell on your foot. Tell me the result.

I wondered if you'd notice this. But I think a stomp on someone's foot
with an 8 pound shod foot would be more than 8 pounds of pressure, too, so
the two inaccuracies cancel out. :-)

nice...

I heard it only takes 20 pounds of pressure to tear off an ear.

Grab ears, stomp on foot, drop to the ground. It shouldn't be
hard to identify a limping suspect with no ears.

It probably wasn't his face that was at "window level".

I had a similar incident occur a bunch of years ago, also not exercise
related.

One of my first lobbying jobs was working for a telecommunications
association. The building bordered on Georgetown but was still in a
"changing neighborhood". In the early years the police had to come and
roust bums sleeping on the side of the building!

One day an old half-in-the bag alcoholic was walking down the street
with his dong proudly blowing in the breeze. He slurred something
like, "I could make you happy with this", to which I replied, "Even if
you could, I wouldn't let you. Now put that silly thing away before
you get arrested".

It was broad daylight, with a lot of other people on the street. So I
didn't feel very intimidated.

Who else has a "naked man" story?

I was running one day in a very posh neighborhood where the old Baton Rouge
money folks live. A man in a high end Mercedes beckoned me over to the
median in the boulevard to ask directions. I do not run with any grace or
price as I am highly allergic but it was one those days when I was in the
middle of multiple 12 hour shifts. Running was the best bang for the time I
had.

Being short winded, I kept going on and one about how to access the freeway
but he just didn't seem to get that he was supposed to turn right at the
corner and left at the light and the freeway would be right there. I was
not really paying attention till I realized what he was doing with his hand.
I just didn't know what proper ettiquette was so I simply took off flying.
I wish that there was someone timing me that day because I bet I broke some
records for speed!
