Ah, Wisconsin

From Anne Jurgen, LaCrosse Tribune:



A pregnant La Crosse woman on probation is accused of trying to rob a South Side restaurant for drug money late Tuesday only to fail when she could not pull her weapon — a hammer — from her shorts.
"I want a soft shell and this is a stickup. Give me all your money," the woman reportedly told the cashier.....[Julie] Bailey, who had a 0.21 blood-alcohol content when arrested, told police her roommate threatened to evict her if she didn't come up with money for crack cocaine. She tried to sell her engagement ring back to Kmart for $150

Pregnant, drunk, and a hammer in her pants; that sums up LaCrosse as well as anything could.

What's a soft shell? A taco? Was she at Taco Bell?

That's a detail that really adds some muy picante sauce to this classic tale of redemption.

Apologies. I forgot to link to the original article. It was a Taco John's. I'll update momentarily.

Taco John's. The low-class version of Taco Bell.
