Bag of Feces Greets Another Lower Mac Resident
That and derogatory remark written on driveway lead to disorderly conduct complaint, police say.
They say what's old is new again, but -- in this case -- you're not likely to find much nostalgia.
Two recent occurrences may not make for a trend, but an incident in Lower Macungie Township was the second in recent times involving feces being used as the weapon of choice.
Harkening back a bit, the referenced old gag was to place feces in a bag, light the bag on fire and ring a doorbell. The startled owner, seeing the flame, would stomp on the bag and . . . well, you can figure out the rest if, in fact, you weren't already familiar with the gag.
