      Maybe he thought it was a sperm-bank ATM.

    Perhaps he misread it

    when it asked him to insert his pin...

      Re: Perhaps he misread it

      At least it was in the US. Otherwise he might have expected to get chips with his pin.

    Cool heads prevail?

    Much as I tend to despair of the US justice system "public intoxication" seems far more reasonable than the laundry list of sexual offences he would probably get landed with over here.

      Agreed. I think they went easy on him.

      Maybe he was related in some way to the ATM and picnic table so technically in Tennessee no sexual offence was committed.

      The outcome is highly variable depending on where in the US. I'm fairly certain the usual "big city" spots in NY, CA, DC, etc would all have a much longer list.

      On a perhaps related note, the bar does bill itself as "the cleanest little dive bar this side of the river" so there's no telling what happens across the creek.

      Depends. How old was that ATM?

      Apparently you haven't been in a bar in Tennessee recently.

      You hope they cleaned the ATM.

      So does that mean you'd be happy eating off the picnic table?

    WTF?

    Crimestoppers?

    Newspaper article mentions calling Crimestoppers if you have any information regarding the case. "Hello... Crimestoppers? I've seen that picnic table hanging around the bar before. It was asking for it!"

    But....

    Did the police hang around in hope of seeing the Money Shot?

    UltiMate Security

    Maybe he is on to a winner, instead of using a pin code fit DNA detectors to ATMs.

      Re: UltiMate Security

      I doubt it. His described condition in the article might make getting a coherent PIN number from him difficult, but he seems more than willing to dispense his DNA freely.

      Well, that's the thing. He may have told the ATM he loved it, but really he was only after its money.

    That's it! I'm outta here!

    I've been wanting out of Middle Tennessee for the past year! Now I've got all the reasons in the world to go now! Seems that Middle Tennessee has become the Shatspot of the world for down right weird news. First you had a girl with a gun stuck up her arse, and now this! I am taking donations for the "Get me the he** outta Middle Tennessee right the f**k now!" fund! Just a $1 donation from all you dear reg readers, family and friends can help me live a new life....In a less shite area!

    slippery slope perhaps

    but someone who either thinks this sort of behavior is okay - or cannot control their behavior - is probably not just having inappropriate public sexual relations, or at least not for long.

    Lawyer job security, PC and pop psychology aside, mental illnesses and compulsions most often do "evolve" and expand into worse behaviors. Self destructive, and worse.
