A suburban judge has ruled that mooning is a cheeky yet legitimate form of communication — but then, Chaucer and Mel Gibson taught us that long ago.
“He was showing his disapproval. … It was intended to offend, in the sense of being critical,” says lawyer James Maxwell, speaking of his client, Raymond McNealy, 44, of suburban Germantown, Md.
His misbegotten moon could have cost him three years in prison and a $1,000 fine. After an automatic appeal, the verdict was reversed earlier this month.
“If exposure of half of the buttock constituted indecent exposure, any woman wearing a thong at the beach at Ocean City would be guilty,” [Judge] Debelius said.
There’s additional pithy repartee in the body of the story.
