“Oh Fudge” Gets Six Months

Irony of ironies, I’m actually wearying my “Oh Fudge” Christmas Story t-shirt today. And I just found this article.

For the second day in a row, Judge Robert Ruehlman threw someone in jail and cited him for contempt for cussing in the courtroom. It was an accused gang member Wednesday. On Thursday, it was a private attorney in a non-criminal case.

As Koenig and Brautigam turned to walk away from the judge, Brautigam called Koenig “a (bleeping) liar.”

“He used the famous F-word,” Koenig said. “(Ruehlman) asked Mr. Brautigam if he said that.”

Brautigam admitted he had and had directed it at Koenig.

Ruehlman cited Brautigam for contempt and sent him to jail for six months.

“I had to give him six months because I gave the other guy (on Wednesday) six months,” Ruehlman said.

Six months in jail!! Wow!!! It really IS the queen-mother of dirty words!

“Oooh fuuudge!” Only I didn’t say “Fudge.” I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the “F-dash-dash-dash” word! … It was all over – I was dead. What would it be? The guillotine? Hanging? The chair? The rack? The Chinese water torture? Hmmph. Mere child’s play compared to what surely awaited me.
