And he slams his gavel and says give the lady her damn penis back.

(18,900 posts)When he approached her,... she screamed out I got more balls than you do too. In a huff he then proceeded to arrest her. It took him three hours to pat her down. She almost didn't fit in the paddy wagon because she seemed to have an erection. What a day at the precinct.
