BUT WHOSE POOP WAS IT?

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 47 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was his.

The Ohio Supreme Court suspended an attorney who defecated into a Pringles potato chip can and then tossed it into a parking lot of a crime-victim advocacy center.

Not that he isn't a dickhole, but...that'll...show them...? How did anyone else even notice this enough to care? Someone so poorly underpaying the cleaner guy that he opened a discarded parking lot pringles can in search of food?

He drove past the ... victim advocacy center ... and was captured on surveillance cameras throwing the can into the center's parking lot. One of the center's employees ... saw Blakeslee throw the can from his car and recovered it in the parking lot... [and] called police to report the incident and the attorney was eventually charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and littering.

If you pick up what is supposed to be an empty can and it weighs like a pound and a half.... you're gonna be curious and look inside at least once.

Not anymore.

I am so absolutely not doing that, no. Maybe it's a whole pound of free cocaine. Maybe god finally smiled on me and it's a very ill-planned potato chip bomb like that experiment where you use a whole potato to power a light bulb. Probably it's some kid's lost gravel collection.

Whatever it is, it's not going to be something whoever had the can last was dying for anyone to have and I don't get paid enough to care.

My guess is that it exploded and caused a mess. There's no way that held together. Pringles cans are literally made out of paper thin cardboard with a little bit of glue holding it all together.

Well, poop analysis showed there were wolf hair and pieces of credit card in it. So, still inconclusive.
