FBI wants agents fired for giving Three Stooges-style noogie
One of the three agents accused by the FBI came up behind a prosecutor, wrapped his arm around her neck and gave her the noogie. "It was very innocent, and it got blown out of proportion," claims one official. (Boston Globe)

Uh, yeah. Generally it's a bad idea to come up behind women and give them a noogie.

I would have been more impressed if the agent had given her the classic two-fingered poke to the eyes.

Yeahhhhh....if that happened at my job, there'd be a firing. Same should happen here. Keep your hands off your coworkers, this isn't the high-school locker room.

Firing all three of them for the noogie seems excessive, but firing them for lying to investigators is not excessive at all.
My gut tells me this was the equivalent of a school boy pulling the hair of a girl he likes... do you think the noogie-er got a date out of the deal?

SG- that happened around our office a couple years back when some wankstar, who couldn't hold his company bought liquor, told off the Boss and ruined it for everyone. Whether he was right is entirely irrelevant, I want my free Holiday booze. I'd like to kick that guys a$$ to this day.

Well you see, sometimesilie, he should have given his boss a noogie instead.

Lawdog....My military hair cut is only in the summer. Although, In addition to being a Union President, you might say that I'm still a Marine, physically and pyschologically. My fammily has a long tradition of service to this great country. I am a direct decendent of two signers of the Declaration of Independence (the two Lee's),also a decendent of Col. John Hardin/hero of the Blackhawk indian wars, also a distant cousin of Gen. Robert E. Lee (on my mothers side).
I will always be military, because someone needs to preserve our freedoms.

All of this new "correctness" has taken the "fun" out of being dys-fun-ctional humans.

It's amazes me how hard the people charged with preserving our freedoms work to take them away.

Uh, Sean, (and possibly other members of the XY club), what the hell goes on in boys high school locker rooms?
I'd tell you what happens in girls but it would bore you mindless. There's certainly no random groping going on.

nell, damn! there was a time in my life where if I could have 15 minutes of invisibility, that's where I'd've gone, no question. HS girls locker room (was in *Jr*. HS when I had this desire)
Now first stop would be Federal Reserve bank on Hundred's printing day, although I guess I'd do just as well up in Ottawa. Do you Canuck's have federal reserve style money printing, or do you get all your "loonies" from the Queens purse?
Shows you how priorities change.
Posted by: sometimesilie | Mar 21, 2008 2:09:01 PM
anyway, I'm glad I didn't waste my free invisibility.

Harumph! They are minted by Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg and Ottawa. As matter of fact the Mint is so good that they do currency for 73 other countries including, AHEM, the US.
And we're getting a commerative Snowboarding 5 cent piece in 2010. :P

snowboarding?! dang! you should have voted for something syrup themed. heh? :)
Do you all still have the world largest gold coin? Boy would I like to get my invisible hands on that! Yowza!

There's obviously been a gross misunderstanding. When I was in the FBI, this was the secret handshake.

In my previous life as a female prosecutor, ( before reincarnation as a Marine ) noogies made me horny. Oh, now what's a poor girl to do in this "correct" world?

There was a tiny terrorist on her head and he gets fired for saving the world.

Hey Rock Marine, we're related. Robert E. Lee is my great, great, great, great, great, great uncle.

My two oldest, back about 8 years ago, were introduced to the Three Stooges, and thought they were so funny.
One day I'm in the kitchen doing my mom stuff, and all of a sudden they start screaming like someone just clubbed them upside the head.
I run to the bedroom to find them rolling on the floor, covering their eyes and screaming in pain. I finally got them them to at least show me what they did, and I nearly passed out from the shock.
Those two giants of genius decided to "doink" each other in the eyes, simultaneously, just like Moe does to Curly.
I'm so proud.

If you read the headline as "Three Stooges-style nookie" the story becomes more interesting and sexy.

how do you explain this in a interview when they ask why you left your previous job?

OK...HUH? Rock Marine used to be a woman? Huh?
Please clarify. My brain...is...imploding...can't...take...the...dichotomy...

This female prosecutor is a jerk. So what if someone gives you a noogie - its a form of endearment isn't it? Firing these guys is stupid for horesplay.
Posted by: lawdog | Mar 22, 2008 7:41:09 AM
If someone did that to any of these guys without consent, they could be facing a nice long stint in the pen for assaulting a federal officer. So firing, yeah, seems about right.
Posted by: paul | Mar 22, 2008 12:41:16 PM
How ridiculous! I could understand if they had pantsed( yanked her pants and panties down around her ankles) her in the courtroom. But this? The judge and prosecuter need to be publicly spanked for this outrage.

Way to go - ULTRA for finally finding the "Caps Lock" button. It only took you a month. :)

Nah, ULTRA has found it before. Found it again and lost it again for a while. Nice to it's been relocated.

ya'll, lay off of ULTRA....there's nothing wrong with constant caps lock usage.
