"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
Possible Sweeney Sighting in Maine?By Jim Travers, Section Diaries
PORTLAND, Maine - The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man with a mustache who is pulling in front of female drivers and then jumping out of his vehicle while wearing women's underwear, a garter belt and black high-heel boots
Since last spring, there have been six reports about the cross-dressing motorist. The most recent incident was last Sunday. The episodes have occurred in the Standish-Buxton area. Sheriff Mark Dion said that while the man's behavior may not be criminal in terms of dress, the fact that he's jumping out in roadways and apparently targeting women who are alone is cause for concern. The sheriff said women have had to swerve to avoid the man. "The behavior is not necessarily criminal in terms of dress, but the fact he's jumping out in roadways and apparently targeting females who are alone, driving their cars, seems to suggest to us we have to talk to him," Dion said. The man apparently wears black thigh-high stockings, a garter belt and a camisole, in addition to the boots. And this: Call him Mr. Goosebumps No, it's not his real name. The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office announced this week that his true identity is safe with them because, when it's all said and done, he's committed no crime. Still, when you dress up in women's underwear and repeatedly jump out of your car while stunned female drivers pass by, you're more than just what police have ever-so-carefully referred to as a a "person of interest."
I thought everyone could use a good laugh...
