Always wondered

Another one, on the news, and this one right here in Newark, Ohio, a few blocks away, at a restaurant where we often eat.

Some guy, exposed himself, to a woman and her family, in the restaurant. I have never understood why someone would do that. I think they could get him for stupidity as well as the exposure thing. We know there are many "kooks" in the world, but the exposure thing I have never understood.

Since we never see what was exposed, we don't know whether he was "bragging" or just, well, sick. I have never had any thoughts of doing it, and I can think of nothing more embarrassing than exposing yourself, let's say to a young woman, and her response, laughing. How humiliating would that be?

Dogs and cows and other animals walk around, exposing themselves, and we think nothing of it. David Phelps, the swimmer, and all swimmers for that matter, leave little to the imagination ... and .... if not for that little thin piece of cloth, they are guilty of ..... exposing themselves. Nothing comes to mind where a woman has been guilty of exposing herself. Now, some have been arrested for public nudity or some such, but not for flashing, or a momentary exposing charge.

It happened in Nevada on a 21 table, in the old days, after shuffling the deck, it was offered to a player at the table to "cut" the deck ... in that instant, a woman threw open her coat, exposing a nude body, the dealer looked away, naturally, and he was "cold decked" ... a stacked deck was replaced. It was not detected for a while, lost a few bucks.

I cannot imagine what compels someone to want to be "seen" .... Maybe Tom Dooley, of "Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley" would have the answer ..... he was hung.

A receipt worth a MILLION ???????

BELMAR, N.J. (AP) -- A woman of Korean descent who claims a worker at a CVS in southern New Jersey used a phrase mocking Asians to identify her on a store receipt has filed a federal discrimination suit against the pharmacy chain, according to her lawyer.

Attorney Susan Chana Lask said her client, Hyun Lee, was picking up photos Feb. 7 at a CVS in Egg Harbor City when Lee noticed an employee had identified her as "Ching Chong Lee" on the ticket.

Lee said through her attorney that she complained to CVS customer relations and was allegedly told the worker would be "counseled and trained."

"Store counseling cannot correct intolerable discrimination," Lask said in a written statement, adding they were demanding the worker be fired.

CVS Caremark Corp. spokesman Mike DeAngelis said the company does not comment on pending litigation but has a firm non-discrimination policy.

"CVS/pharmacy is committed to treating all of our customers with dignity and respect," he said.

The suit, which Lask said was filed April 16 in federal court in Camden, is seeking $1 million.

I forget the store, but one time, well, actually many times at a lot of stores, and a lot of instances, I have been asked my name, I reply, "Joe Dooley" and they write down Tom Dooley, or I would introduce myself , "Hi, Joe Dooley," and they would reply, "Tom, how are you." It has made me feel so awful, difficult to put into words........who can I sue?
