Watch what you say

In a story out of Scranton, Pa. a woman was cited for disorderly conduct because of her “potty mouth” when she allegedly shouted profanities at her overflowing toilet within earshot of a neighbor.

She could face up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $300 but an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union in Philadelphia took issue with the citation and will likely challenge it.

The woman stated, "It doesn't make any sense. I was in my house. It's not like I was outside or drunk." "The toilet was overflowing and leaking down into the kitchen and I was yelling (for my daughter) to get the mop."

She didn’t recall exactly what she said, but she admitted letting more than a few choice words fly near an open bathroom window where her next-door neighbor, a city police officer who was off-duty at the time, asked her to keep it down. When she continued, the officer called police.

The ACLU stands by the claim that you can't prosecute somebody for swearing at a cop or a toilet!
