Wackiness in Nassau County: Jokesters arrested

What to make of this NYT article, sent to us by Tommy James?

…Harvey Kash, and the friend, Carl Lanzisera, were doing their routine last month while waiting in line outside Nassau County’s First District Court in Hempstead when one bystander, who identified himself as a lawyer, complained. Court officers, who were also not amused, clapped handcuffs on the amateur comics and charged them with disorderly conduct.

Of course, it has a happy ending, with talk show host/sartorially challenged attorney Ron Kuby repping them for free and getting them off, but the NYT’s account must be leaving something out. The folks in Nassau county went as far as to convene a grand jury before deciding charges should be dropped… very odd.
