Now you know what Beyond, in Bed Bath & Beyond doesn't mean

Via Drudge: Two men were arrested and charged with engaging in lewd behavior on a display bed at Bed Bath & Beyond during regular business hours.

One or both of the men apprehended by police were found to be infected with scabies, a contagious skin infestation caused by a microscopic parasite that burrows beneath skin. The arresting officers were exposed to the mites, according to police reports.

The officers were treated at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center and released, though they were on leave for a few days to avoid contaminating the Clifton Police Department’s offices, according to the record of the incident, which also said the booking station had to be fumigated by exterminators to prevent any spread of scabies.

Detective Lt. Robert Bracken said it's not yet known if the suspects were intoxicated or under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance. He said there was no clear motive or reason behind the crime.

Bracken credited the store’s employees, who were “proactive in remedying the situation.”

"Out of an abundance of caution, the incident-related merchandise and display was immediately pulled from the floor and discarded. We will continue to take steps to assure that our store and merchandise continues to be safe for our customers and associates. If any customer feels uncomfortable in our store for any reason, we will of course attempt to address such a situation in an appropriate manner," Joyce wrote.

No sex in the display room!

My sister lives about five minutes away from that store.

Scabies is a very bad scene.

There was an outbreak at the hospital where The Blonde worked (years ago) and the precautions nurses had to take were beyond belief.

Speaking of blacks...why do all the black guys at my gym say "hey" to each other even when they obviously have never met..but they don't say "hey" to white guys.

I feel like they are all in some special club with their "hey".

Titus, That is a common dynamic in venues where there are few blacks. Doesn't happen @ NBA games. Does @ hockey and baseball games.

I'm guessing your gym is pretty white?

I have a feeling they were poor black dudes.

I don't have that feeling, but will admit it was a colorful divert. Titus, King of the Perverted Picture Shift.
