The judge claims he uses the stuffed nuts in his courtroom to help raise awareness of safe sex and the effectiveness of condoms against pregnancy and disease. The Court of Judicial Disciple said that "his preoccupation with acorns is mystifying," but the guy is still fit for the bench. The incident that sparked the misconduct complaint involved the judge giving two women acorns for a "nice afternoon snack."

But,
Would he arrest them for having sex on the beach with his condoms?
(and, no, not the drink)

"... handing out of acorns with condoms in them is not a good fit ..."
Not unless you have a real little willy.
I swear, this is the second time I've been able to use a quote. The jokes just write themselves.

These women try to eat acorns?

The judge is from Intercourse, PA, so that explains the condoms. As for the acorns, it's anyone's guess.

I don't get it.

i happen to have it from a good second hand source that actually placing acorns into a condom is a pleasurable activity.

But what people did he usually hand them out to? Judges can't generally sterilize someone, but they can sure suggest they don't breed...

I guess I'm with kevy on this one.

Court of Judicial 'Disciple' sounds like a religious court. I think it is the Court of Judicial Discipline, Jim : )

@kevy/twerp/me:
"If you're a bit baffled, so was the Court, noting that "his preoccupation with acorns is mystifying."
What's more mystifying is his desire to see women eat unwrapped condoms.
Oh yeah, the incident that sparked the misconduct complaint involved Judge Stoltzfus giving two women acorns for a "nice afternoon snack," reports the paper.
They bit into the nuts only to find that they were hollowed out and stuffed with unwrapped condoms."

It's pretty clear. The dude has a pretty fn weird (I would say pervy) fetish. One that apparently ISN'T weird enough to keep him from being a judge.
