Wal-Mart Fireman F***s With Hurricane Edouard
“CAN you believe this? He’s f*cking arresting me for saying f**k!”
Says the report – and it’s the tangential link of the day:
As Tropical Storm Edouard closed in on the Texas Gulf Coast last week, a storm of a different kind was brewing inside the sporting goods section of a Wal-Mart store in La Marque. It started with the F-word.
(Edouard. Even the hurricanes want to be different.) Kathryn “Kristi” Fridge hears the weather warnings. Before retreating to live in hollowed out cow until the storm passes, this Texan makes a last-minute stop at a Wal-Mart with her mother and 2-year-old daughter.
She has need of batteries. But there are none. “I was like, ‘Dang.’ I looked at my mom and said, ‘They’re all f*c*ing gone.”
Within earshot is a Capt. Alfred Decker, the La Marque assistant fire marshal. He is clad in the panoply of the fire department.
“He said, ‘You need to watch your mouth,’ ” Fridge said. “I was like, ‘Oh, OK. Sorry?’” she said.
She walks away. He orders her to return. He then handcufffs her.
La Marque Fire Chief Todd Zacherl says: “She cussed him, she cussed everybody. By now, we have a huge group of people looking.”
Fridge emphatically denied that, saying while she did curse in casual conversation with her mother, she never cursed at Decker, even during their confrontation. Her mother agreed.
She admits, however, to swearing when Decker is leading her away: “Can you believe this? He’s *ucking arresting me for saying f**k!”
Says Fridge: “When I got outside, I saw he was a fire marshal — I saw his car. I said, ‘You’re not even a cop!’ He said, ‘I can do this’.”
He hands her a ticket for disorderly conduct. She is asked to spell out her name: She does so.
“F for ****…”
Any more of this and it’ll be as bad as England…

‘Cussed’
An English word entirely unknown in England and Anokra spells it perfectly…

I think that one has to be careful around power-hungry Men-in-Uniform Types anyway!
A lot of these Men-in-Uniform Types are brought up within the confines of families ‘who know their place’ and see it as bad-mannered and dirty.
Real Men-in-Unform types such as Admirals and Generals swear their cocks off at private parties - but not in a fucking super-market for fuck’s sake!
There could have been children and elderly people who ‘know their place’ shopping that day!
Swear words dropping from the mouths of Slappers, Half-Wits and Dick-Heads sounds revolting and quite threatening to my own ears - and I swear like a c*nt!
But only when I have a handle on the audience or reader!
So - Even though I think this bloke was a nosey bastard for eaves-dropping - the woman was in a public place and a child may have overheard something he would not have heard at home.
Don’t swear in public places where there are people who do not know you!
At least people on Anorak know me now and can scroll straight past my tripe!

I make a beeline straight for your posts !!!

DUNCANR! Darling!
One of those naughty self-validating ladies has been picking on me again - CuckooClam’s friend - and she made slanderously horrid comments which made me want to start sentences with the word ‘and’ just to get back at her.
I was just about to overdose on my medication when the lovely Kitten Karen came to my defence.
I could have been in a coma if it wasn’t for Karen!

As far as I am aware firemen can only arrest someone obstructing them doing their duty. The contingency lawyers will be salivating over this one. Unlawful arrest, assault! Hmm at least a hundred grand! Lucky girl!! MInd you the lawyers fees will probably come to 95 grand - only if they win of course.
