Romantic John

A quick tale from this week at City Court:

My client, who had been charged with Criminal Solicitation (that's trying to buy a prostitute in layman's terms), admittedly used the following phrase in approaching an undercover Pittsburgh police officer:

"Can I fuck your throat for $25 dollars?"

This is truly the work of a poet.

Romantic? No.

Difficult to picture? Kinda.

Overall effectiveness in getting him arrested? 100%.

Anyhoo, the Commonwealth withdrew the misdemeanor charges, and my client pled to a summary Disorderly Conduct. The punishment? Six days time served in ACJ and a $100 fine plus court costs. The bummer? Dude never did get his blow job.

How can you not love City Court?
