    That has to be fake.

    Men who aren't afraid to cry? Translation: she's gonna tie you up and whip your ass till you cry like a little bitch.

    another appropriate use of the phrase: "takes one, to know one".

  2. Father arrested for beating child over bad grades?!?!?!?

    ok i am all for disciplining your children but jeeze what the hell is beating him with a belt going to do??? uhhhh nothing. Is it going to make him/her make better grades? Possiblly, but maybe trying to get the kid academic help would be more productive...

    there is definitely a difference in a kid doing bad in school, and a disobedient kid. now if the problem is his effort, then yes, he deserves a bit of a whack. get your sh*t together, son.

    how do we delete threads that we created? i clicked "edit" but after that no option was visible to delete.

    also, when creating a new thread, i always get a "database error" message but then clicking refresh creates the new thread successfully. although in one instance it created a duplicate thread.

    still "on notice", cj 2.0...

    WSVN-TV - Help Me Howard - Lentil

    Help Me Howard

    Air Date: Wednesday, October 3, 2007

    Lentil

    We've all eaten out and had a bad experience. Poor service, lousy food, you name it. But one woman's story truly takes the cake when a dispute over the bill lands her behind bars. It's lots-to-do about lentils and it's tonight's Help me Howard with Patrick Fraser.

    Help Me Howard reports

    WSVN -- Paola loves to do things.

    Paola Roy: "I go out to dinner, I go the beach, I do different things."

    And now she can say she has done something really, really different. It began when she had lunch with some friends at an Indian restaurant in Coral Gables.

    Paola Roy: "He asked me which lentils I wanted because they had 2 different kinds, and I said I'd take the black lentils."

    The waiter never asked if Paola wanted a large or a small order of lentils, she wanted small, he assumed large and brought it. Then the bill came.

    Paola Roy: "And I told him there was a mistake on the bill, I was being charged for a large order and I had expected to receive the small order."

    The difference between the large and small order was a little over three dollars. They discussed who would budge.

    Paola Roy: "He told that I had to pay the full amount, and that if I didn't pay the full amount he was going to call the police."

    Paola paid for the small order of lentils, and walked outside. The police were there.

    Paola Roy: "There were three police cars from the city of Coral Gables there, OK, apparently I was a danger to society."

    An officer walked up.

    Paola Roy: "He says, I hear you skipped out on a bill, and I said well you heard wrong."

    Paola Roy: "I disputed the charge on a bill and didn't pay the full amount."

    Paola explained what happened. The officer then talked to the restaurant manager, and made his decision.

    Paola Roy: "He basically told me that if I didn't pay the three dollars he would arrest me, that it was considered theft. I said, I don't believe you can arrest me for this."

    The officer then turned her around and handcuffed her.

    Paola Roy: "Why would I get arrested for disputing a three dollar charge on my bill, it didn't make any sense to me."

    Of course Paola could have just paid the three dollars, but she says she didn't owe it.

    Paola Roy: "Yes, it was the principal of the thing."

    The next stop, the Dade County Jail where Paola was charged with defrauding

    Paola Roy: "Fingerprinted, searched intimately in front of everyone that was there, men, women, officers, staff, other inmates."

    Paola Roy: "They were the most expensive lentils I had ever purchased because they cost me 500 dollars bond to get out."

    Paola laughs, but trust us, she is still angry, and still convinced Coral Gables police should never have arrested her over a three dollar lentil dispute.

    Paola Roy: "From the very beginning I assumed it was a civil matter, like any business disputes, you go to small claims court or you sue somebody, you don't call the police."

    Alright Howard, should Paola have gone to jail over some lentils?

    Howard Finkelstein: "At first when I heard she had gone to jail for this I thought there must be more to it, but there is not. The officer made a mistake. This clearly is a civil matter. There is no intent here to defraud. This is just a disagreement between a restaurant and a customer, certainly not a crime.

    The restaurant manager at House of India said he didn't enjoy calling the police over a few dollars. He just wanted Paola to pay the bill she owed.

    When we asked the Coral Gables police chief if it was silly for his officer to arrest someone over three dollars worth of lentils, he said Paola challenged the officer to take her to jail, and he did. He added he stood by his officer.

    We then called the State Attorney's office to investigate. They did and could not find any evidence Paola had tried to commit a crime.

    The judge was blunt.

    Judge: "Its a civil matter, I don't know who made the charge against you."

    Judge: "Officers can make mistakes."

    The State Attorney told the judge they wanted to drop the charges, and they did.

    Judge: "Free to go"

    Paola Roy: "Thank you"

    Paola is just happy her long awaited lentil nightmare has ended.

    Paola Roy: "I'm just grateful that your show WSVN, and Help Me Howard, recognize that and brought this to light, and help it bring to the attention of the state attorney's office."

    Paola's next step is to wipe out her arrest record. Since it's her first arrest she needs to contact the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and fill out the paperwork. Once her record is sealed if a company asks if she has ever been arrested she can legally say no.

    Full of troubles but still hungry for help? Place an order with us. We are worthless in the kitchen but when it comes to cooking up legal solutions, we aren't bad.
