And now, from the "He was a victim of a puke and run" files and Yahoo! News...
Sudiegirl's note...I included everyone's favorite "serial puker", Stan (from "South Park") to further illustrate the fact that if you have a weak stomach, skip this entry. If you have a stronger stomach than most, keep going, but don't say I didn't warn you. OK, here we go...bring the Maalox.
Teen Who Threw Up on Teacher Sentenced
Wed Jul 27, 6:14 PM ET
OLATHE, Kan. - A high school student convicted of battery for vomiting on his Spanish teacher has been ordered to spend the next four months cleaning up after people who throw up in police cars. (Oh...my. That's not a good thing. Not at all. Makes you wish you could just pay a fine, right?)
Johnson County Magistrate Judge Michael Farley said during the sentencing Tuesday that he considered the boy's actions "an assault upon the dignity of all teachers."
(Well, I must admit that I had many teachers throughout my life that were pukeworthy, but I never thought of actually doing it. I can't honestly say I know anyone who would look forward to such a bodily function with great glee. Don't know if I want to either...could you imagine conversations about the weekend?
"Well, hey Fred, what'd you do this weekend?"
"Oh, it was great man! I hurled at least six or seven times, and the last one had chunks in it!"
"Well, I'd better get out of here..." Nothing short of mind-boggling.)
The teen, now 17, vomited on teacher David Young as he turned in his textbook on the last day of classes at Olathe Northwest High School. His attorney, Brian Costello, said the student vomited because he was nervous about his final exams. (Well, that's understandable, I guess. I've never had a nervous stomach in that way, but many do. Can't judge a man gastrically, know what I mean?)
But two other students testified that the teen said he threw up intentionally. (OK, that's the part that gets to me. You know how unpleasant it is to barf, so why do it intentionally? ) One girl said he told her in advance that he planned to throw up on Young on the last day of school. The girl wasn't in class when the teen threw up, but she testified that the boy later told her, "You missed it. I did it." (If I were her, I'd be thankful!)
Young said the student, who was failing his class, made no effort to avoid throwing up on him. "I was just sort of stunned," he said. (Well, that's the understatement of the century.)
Sudiegirl's final word?
I'm feelin' queasy.
