This from the 'That's just gross desk and a little sad':
Ala. city drops lewdness charge against woman, 81
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - City officials want to dismiss a public lewdness charge against an 81-year-old woman accused of urinating in a public park when she couldn't make it to a bathroom.
Municipal prosecutors in Mobile filed a motion Wednesday to throw out the charge against Lula Mae Battle. The request came amid a public outcry over the arrest of Battle, who suffers from incontinence problems.
"Thank you, Jesus. Glory, Hallelujah!" Battle told the Press-Register newspaper after learning of the city's motion.
Battle has said she was at her bank, next to Bienville Square in downtown Mobile, on June 3 when a teller refused to let her use the bathroom. Battle tried to make it to a public restroom across the park but couldn't get there in time.
The woman lost control of her bladder as she walked, so she ducked into bushes next to a small building. But the building was a one-room police substation manned by a cadet, who called for an officer and had her arrested.

I like Rocky Road.

Bye.
