Legal Juice

For real. Apparently it wasn't the first time Michael Rainey's cat mistook neighbor Joseph Loflin's yard for a litter box. As reported by Click2Houston.com:

"'Your cat has been back there defecating in my back yard,'" [former police officer] Loflin said he told his neighbor. "I used the slang word, the four-letter word to describe what the cat was doing."

The "slang word?"

Both men agree that Loflin used the "s" word. Rainey said his 13-year-old daughter was nearby.

Not the S-bomb! Now it's on.

"I said, 'Look, I've asked you twice. This is the third time. Don't use that language in front of my daughter,'" Rainey said he told Loflin. "That's when he responded, 'There's nothing wrong with the word, and if I want to use the word, I'll use the word.'"

Uh huh. So there's a 13-year-old out there who hasn't heard the word "shit" before? He probably thinks his daughter isn't on Facebook ... So how did the police get involved?

"I didn't call him a filthy name," Loflin said. "I didn't call him … I didn't use any profanity towards him. I used it as a noun, then I used it as an adverb to describe what his cat was doing. I think it was greatly taken out of context." After Loflin threatened to get a trap, Rainey called the police. The police wrote Loflin a ticket for disorderly conduct because of language.

The Juice is glad to hear that Mr. Loflin will fight this asinine ticket.
