Where Should You Eat? A Fast Food Flowchart
With the Red Sox leading the AL East and no big news stories about the ailing MBTA this week, Bostonist went out looking for some news that gets overlooked. Sure, everyone knows that auto insurance is decreasing this year for Mass drivers and that the Patriots face off against the Bengals this Friday, but there are some hidden jewels (pun intended) out there. The Herald pointed out this telling tale of a drunken New Hampshire man who awoke to find that his buddy had, oh how should we put it, locked up his “package” with an actual pad lock. Bostonist assumes that the man had a killer hangover, which only added to the problem when the key in the lock broke and turned to a hacksaw to get it off. This guy was a patient one and walked around for two weeks until he finally caved, calling the Brentwood police for a little assistance. A local locksmith saved the day, of course. The questions is: was this front page news at the Portsmouth Herald on Friday?

Best of all, the police corporal quoted in the story is named H.D. Wood IV. Is it juvenile of me to think that, in light of the subject matter, that names is kinda funny?
i would not want to be the one "looking into" that case, that's for sure.
but seriously, what kind of moron would let something like that go for TWO WEEKS?
This whole thing is just nuts... ;-)
The news story says they're investigating to determine the motive. My guess is that somebody was just trying to break this guy's . . . oh man, it's just too awful a pun to make.
I had a padlock on my genitals for 22 years, but it was purely metaphorical. Instead of being made of steel, it was made of Catholic guilt and acne.
