The court has also permitted testimony that a second pump was seen under Judge Thompson's bench, despite his lawyers' attempts to get the evidence barred.

I wonder if the judge was afraid that first pump would be jealous.

You notice this story originates in Oklahoma but was carried by a website in Wales? No U.S. paper has picked it up.

I have noticed that many times these interesting, off beat items appear at FR and then the next day appear in the print media, usually diseminated by AP. I wonder if AP monitors this site to gauge the degree of interest in any article. I just checked my original posting and there have been 1,429 views thus far. Let's see if it shows up in print. Nice to see the Smoking Gun carried it.

Thanks to all FReepers for the very funny comments associated with this gripping tale.
