Construction Flagger in CT Charged With Lewd Act, Police Say

This story teaches us all a lesson about waiting to get home from work before we schedule private time with ourselves.

According to an article in the NewsTimes, Thomas Whye from New Haven is a flagger on a road construction project and was sitting in his car taking a break. Police got a call just after noon about Whye complaining that he was doing weird stuff to himself while sitting in his car.

Yes, he was allegedly masturbating in his car. Whye claims he was doing no such thing, and that his pants were down because he was doing what guys do every now and then. He claims he was adjusting his underwear and junk to make his "boys" more comfortable while he worked.

If you're a guy reading this, I'm sure you totally understand, but here's where he went wrong: First, you look around to make sure no one is around and close enough to eyeball your "franks and beans" if you know what I'm saying.

Now if he was actually taking a 5-minute "flute solo," common sense would dictate that if you decide to switch into "manual override," a more private location would be a better idea for everyone concerned. Wouldn't you agree?
