Iowa Man Lands in Double-Dog Trouble

DES MOINES, Iowa - As crimes go, this one was for the dogs.
According to police, James Clay had the munchies early Friday morning so he headed for the hotdogs at a local convenience store. Although his craving appeared satisfied, there was a little problem...he decided to overstuff his bun.
When he went to the counter to pay, the clerk noticed Clay had jammed two hotdogs into his bun, camouflaging his snack under a pile of condiments.
It apparently wasn't the first time Clay had tried to double-dog his bun, so the employee called police.
Hunger was the least of Clay's worries when officers arrived. He was wanted on a warrant for failing to pay child support.
Clay was being held at the Polk County jail under $59,230 bond.
Somebody should have told the fool that if he's sneaking TWO hotdogs past the clerk, he doesn't need extra condiments...he needs a GAFF! No sympathies for him, anyway...any man who skips out on child support should have at least ONE hotdog confiscated.
Oddly, I am, at this very moment, listening to NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" Special End-O'-Year Edition, which includes, as its first "Best of the Year" item, a story about a Floridian who was arrested for trying to smuggle a 12" pepperoni out of a convenience store by hiding it in his shorts. It apparently was only PARTIALLY concealed, leading to the inquiry "Are you going to buy that, or are you just happy to see me?" (Cut-and-paste http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=35 and click the "Is Adam Felber Psychic" link, if ya don't believe me!)
I guess small-time criminality and sausage theft are inextricably linked. How this relates to our community, I leave up to finer minds than mine. Like, perhaps, yours?

Ha! The injured hand excuse might have worked but it seems he had accepted cheese into his life by way of his pocket! I am convinced he has only you to blame!

Moi? I am not a devotee of cheeses (even if it's served [or is that "He ATTENDS"?] my holiday get-togethers)...I'm Jewish!!! Oh, come to think of it, so was He.
