Smirk of the Day

Today's adolescent giggle comes from this New York Times article concerning a small Massachusetts town's attempt to solve a three year old murder.

It seems a woman was stabbed to death, and police found traces of semen on the body. Naturally, the police would like to speak to the original owner of said semen, and have proposed collecting DNA samples from each of the town's 790 men.

"The person we're looking for is the one who deposited the DNA" by having sex with Ms. Worthington before she died, Sergeant Perry said. "We're not saying that this is the killer. What we're saying is we need to talk to this person, who may be just the last person to see her alive."

Naturally, not all the Truroians are happy with this but I am still cleaning coffee spray off my monitor after reading this:

"I think it's outrageous," said Dick Seed, 44, a Truro sign painter who called the American Civil Liberties Union to complain.
