Philosophy 101

This sounds like something we would have studied in philosophy class. Well, what others might have studied, I have to admit that I didn’t study much for philosophy class. I couldn’t see the point.

    But the question today is this:  Is it okay to speed in order to get to court in time to take care of a speeding ticket? A conundrum? Perhaps. Although the state police officer who stopped this Vermont driver doing 112 mph on the Interstate didn’t have a problem deciding what to do. The driver has been charged with “excessive speeding and negligent operation,” according to the AP report.

Heads Up - Incoming Brisket

    What happens when you hit someone with a hot brisket? Or to be more specific, what happens if you do this in Kentucky? It so happens that you get charged with misdemeanor of wanton endangerment.

    How do we know this? It happens that two people were sharing a cooker at the Central Kentucky State Barbecue Festival. Evidently there was some disagreement, and one contestant threw a hot beef brisket at his fellow contestant and hit her on the head and shoulder. The brisket was estimated to be between 200 and 250 degrees. That’s hot beef. We don’t know what damage was sustained by the person hit.

    Now, in Kentucky this guy is lucky his thrown brisket didn’t hit a racehorse. For that, he would have been charged with something far worse than a little old misdemeanor.
