The Brown Devil

Yes, folks it's poo poo I'm talking about here.

I'm not going to copy
Skelly's entire post here, but this story has me laughing my ass off! In short, A Knoxville County Assistant Public Defender wrote a fantastically descriptive letter to local jail officials complaining about fecal matter on the walls of the attorney rooms. They responded with a letter that basically said, You're a dumbass, it's glue on the wall, not shit!

Read
Skelly's post on it and then you can follow the links to the Knoxville County Sheriff's Office Official Website...yup they posted the letters for the public to see.

Personally, I think the letter is great, and I wish that I could write even half as well as Auer does, but for obvious reasons, it was a bad idea to send a complaint letter like that without attempting other ways of having them acknowledge the situation first. From the Sheriff's office response, it sounds like they've recieved letters from her before.

Just to put a face to the name of the APD (Julie Auer):

And Sheriff Tim Hutchison:
