What Are You Trying to Say?

A school bus driver in Winter Haven, Fla., stopped when the mother of one of his riders flagged the bus down. But, he says, she started yelling at him in a language he doesn’t understand and was hitting him, so he called for police. By the time sheriff deputies arrived, the woman had left, but when they found her at her home she started yelling at them, too, they say. To punctuate whatever point she was trying to make, she pulled down her panties. Marsia Emanuel, 37, was arrested and charged with battery on school personnel, school disruption, and indecent exposure. A teen on the bus was also arrested for causing a disturbance as deputies were investigating. (RC/Tampa Tribune, WTSP St. Petersburg) ...Give him a break: he was just trying to warn them about the panty gambit.
