But Officer, I Was Just Following The Directions

A man was arrested for having sex with a picnic table... seriously:

According to NBC Toledo, Ohio, affiliate WNWO-TV, the videos show Price tilting the metal round picnic table on its side and then laying up against it to have sexual intercourse with the table. Afterward, he can then be seen cleaning the table and the deck.

During questioning, he reportedly admitted to having sex with the table. Police said he also admitted to bringing the table inside his home for sex.

I don't know what's more disturbing.  The fact that he did this, or the fact that it was considered a felony.  The charges have since been dropped, but misdemeanor charges may be filed instead.  I wonder what led to the charges being dropped.  Perhaps he found the instruction manual for assembling the table which said that you were supposed to insert a pole into the hole into the middle?

Via Reason.

Was it consensual? If knot, then it isn't oak-kay.

There's an inappropriate "morning wood" joke in that story somewhere too...

Depends on what the meaning of "pole" is.

I had read a different account of the story, and I believe the reason he was charged with felonies was because he was in view of an elementary school. So I think the charges were similar to those of people who expose themselves to children.

Still, ew. If it was his own picnic table, I'm glad he found someone he could love. If it was someone else's picnic table, then surely he should be charged with adultery. What happens between a man and his table is a private matter, but to destroy the relationships of two couples is reprehensible. What happens now to the umbrella? Did anyone think of the umbrella's feelings in all this? Is the umbrella going to go after the man's wife for revenge?

I don't think I'm going to go to his home for a barbecue anytime soon.

Hold the mayo!
