Florida law enforcement agents have charged 48-year-old Keith R. Griffin (shown at left) with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after a detective found over a thousand such images on his computer.
In his defense, Mr. Griffin told detectives "he would leave his computer on and his cat would jump on the keyboard. And when he returned there will be strange material downloaded."
He is in jail, with bail set at a quarter million dollars. His cat roams free.
I guess this is a grown-up version of "The dog ate my homework."

Yup, I know what you mean. If it was a dog we were talking about here, he would probably be planning an elaborate jail-break to free the wrongfully imprisoned master. Gotta love dogs

Apparently someone forgot to include common sense when putting him together at the very beginning. I suppose everyone sleeps on the job once in a while, regardless of where you are employed.

My cat actully looks smug if she draws blood. But honestly "My cat looked up child porn." I'm a bad liar and I could think of 100 lies better than that. Might as well admitted it.
"That dead... whatever that thing was, is really gross, but Hawaii is still very nice."
I really think the guy should have kept quiet. As it is, you know that cat isn't going to visit him when he gets locked up. It's the kind of grudge anybody would find hard to forget.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
