Airport Parable
August 27th, 2007Breaking news! Senator Larry Craig of Idaho was busted in June for “a lewd incident” in a public restroom (more here). Moral of the story? Don’t come onto people you don’t know while they sit on the toilet. Ever. And you probably shouldn’t lecture the American public about morality when you’re risking sexual infection, lawful arrest and the humilitation of your entire family and political party by attempting to turn the Junior Senator loose in public and it’s even worse when you try to force the policemen to forget all about it by showing them your business card and saying, “What do you think of that?” Reminds me of an old The Critic parody where a woman has no voice but communicates using a slide whistle. Her husband says, “Let’s go make love” and the excitement is obvious from the note she plays. He then says, “What do you think of me naked?” and he receives a less than ringing endorsement.
