Painesville, Ohio's municipal judge Michael Cicconetti is my sort of guy.
Three men who solicited sex from an undercover cop in the small Ohio town were given a choice: 30 days in jail or take turns wearing a chicken suit and carrying a sign saying 'No Chicken Ranch in Painesville'. The reference is to Nevada's famous bordello of the same name -- where, by the way, it is NOT a crime to pay for sex.
Since the sentence is being carried out today, there is a chance you will get a peek on this evening's news programs. Or maybe it will show up on YouTube.
Painesville lies astride US 20, the main drag through the area in which I grew up, lying about halfway between Cleveland and Ashtabula and about a mile south of Lake Erie.
The judge has had other interesting sentencing ideas, but you'll have to read the story...I don't want to be a spoiler.
