A Facebook post by the California Highway Patrol in South Sacramento uses no fewer than four poop emojis in telling this story, for good reason. It seems that in the wee hours of Monday morning, a driver called police to say he'd crashed into a pond on a dairy farm somewhere near the city of Elk Grove.

Sounds like the punishment fit the crime.


Now what really ought to happen is he is made to go out there in the hot sun and repair the fence while the dairy farmer and all the hired hands stand around, give him instruction, and laugh.

I'm just curious if the highway patrol had to drive him home! Perhaps the fire department gave him a good shower first?

Those 'sippy' ponds can bring tears to your eyes a long way from the pond.

This sort of manure-handling system is usually referred to as a "lagoon" rather than a pond
