Police in Burlington charge that psychiatrist Ronald Preston McPike used feces-smeared dollar bills to pay a parking ticket. According to authorities, the money was in an envelope labeled, "Foreign brown substance on bills."

Lab test showed the stains were from excrement smeared on the bills.

Police said the doctor claimed the money fell into a toilet. He's been charged with harassment of a public official.

McPike has pleaded not guilty. He faces 30 days in jail and a $500 fine if convicted.

What's with psychiatrists?

The funniest thing in this article is an opinion survey:

"If this man were your psychiatrist, would you stop going to him?" You can vote Yes or No.

I think I'll vote that I'd keep going to this psychiatrist.

I know --- but if you need a psychiatrist, it should make you think twice about who you'd choose.

Asking this guy to pay another fine seems like just asking for trouble.

Well, at least he can't be charged with money laundering.

I once had a client that owed me money for a long overdue veterinary bill that when she paid us she smeared the money with dog excrement. I washed the bills and remembered the event. Years later, she had a veterinary emergency with one of her dogs and had been going to another veterinarian that is notorious for not taking his after hours calls. It was a sweet payback...I told her she had to have the money up front before I would see her and believe me, the deposit was not insignificant. She was angry at me..blah blah blah. What goes around comes around.

Funny story! I am glad you didn't refuse to treat the dog, he couldn't help it if his owner was a jerk. I pay my vet first before my other bills. Of course, my vet is my brother and I get special treatment at his clinic. I get to come in the exit door and go right to the head of the line no matter how many people are waiting, but I pay full price. The only price I pay for house calls is dinner. LOL
