Blowin' Bob's latest explanation

Whoa ... how did I miss this gem from Wednesday? Our old friend Blowin' Bob Allen has a whole new excuse for his little, um, indiscretion:

Police say Allen, while in a Space View Park restroom, agreed to pay the undercover officer $20 for oral sex.

According to the report, Allen said he went to the bathroom to avoid a lightning storm that was about to start.

The undercover officer went into a stall next to Allen’s. Allen knocked on the officer’s stall door to ask if he was all right.

Allen told [Titusville assistant police chief John] Lau he was afraid he was going to be robbed and agreed to the sex act so that he could reach the KSC security gate where a guard would be located. The nearest gate, across the Max Brewer Bridge, is several miles from the park.

I know downtown Titusville very well. I also know that the city's downtown police station is a few blocks away from the park. So Blowin' Bob would rather go miles across the causeway to KSC (in a thunderstorm) than to the nearby police station? Uh huh. Tell me more.

I definitely agree with NG in NYC (who gets the hat tip for this one): "Why isn't his lawyer ordering him to be quiet?" Blowin' Bob's going keep a lot of comedians (and blogs) in business if he keeps this up ...
