I don't know and am afraid to try it myself!

Edit: Tried it. It is a link to Wikipedia regarding the Dorset Ooser. My phone hasn't melted at least.

"You see the disparaging comments he made about my officer?" Berlin said. "Drop dead."

Better watch out citizen. Coming from officer dip$#@!, that strikes me as an inauspicious warning, not a platitudinous insult.

Can we setup an account here for officer thin skin? He could see just how disparaging remarks could be.

Man guilty of leaving car idling in driveway, fine: $128

ROSEVILLE, Mich. — A man who fought a $128 ticket for leaving his car running was on the losing end of a court case earlier this week and may appeal the ruling.

Taylor Trupiano, 24, who lives in this suburb about 20 miles north of Detroit, was warming up his car in his driveway Jan. 5 when he ran inside to get his girlfriend and her 2-year-old son. That 10 minutes or so was enough time for a Roseville officer to issue him a citation because he was in violation of a state law intended to hamper car theft.

Trupiano's vehicle was left "wide open" near the bottom of his driveway about 2 feet from the sidewalk, City Attorney Tim Tomlinson said.

Less than two weeks later, two vehicles were stolen, both from people who started their vehicles and left them unattended. One lead to a high-speed chase and another occurred when a car was taken with two children inside, the city attorney said.

"There is an important public safety goal this is trying to achieve by having these regulations on the books," Tomlinson said.

Trupiano said he fought the ticket because he thinks people should be able to warm up their own cars in their own driveways. He considers the citation another way for municipalities to raise money.

He also didn't want his girlfriend's son, who has cerebral palsy, to get into a cold car on a freezing day, he said. He sees valets, delivery drivers, school bus drivers and even police leave their cars running and unattended for various reasons.

"That's a little upsetting," Trupiano said after the hearing. He doesn't think the ordinance "applies to my private property."
