Now that Jerry Sandusky has been found guilty, I suppose it would be safe to say that he will find himself at the “butt” end of a lot of jokes. How’s that for role reversal?
And speaking of role reversal, I’m sure he’s the one that will be picking up the soap in the prison showers for the next 60 to 420 years in prison. He just needs to watch out for the tickle monsters. My understanding is that they keep the biggest, meanest tickle monsters in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.
Apparently, there are special accommodations made for older prisoners to make life easier for them. These “Jerry”atric conditions seem a bit unfair for someone that faces an astronomical jail time and gets a cushy lifestyle. They should at least take away his dentures and feed him steak every night. Not to get all religious on the topic, but Jesus would have had no sympathy for someone like this. He would have a “millstone hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea”.
Now that the trial is over, the next step is for the investigators to look into Penn State, and determine which heads are going to roll. From the faculty to the board of trustees, it doesn’t appear that anyone is safe. However, there is one name in the whole process that has gone without scrutiny, and I find it difficult to understand how she isn’t at the top of the list in this witch hunt. Dottie Sandusky, Jerry’s ultra faithful wife, has stood by him and even testified for him. How is it possible to live with someone who is guilty of such heinous crimes for all those years, and not have any suspicion?
Did she not realize her husband was spending more time showering than coaching? Was she completely deaf to the cries and blind to the tears of her adopted son? I’m sure she had to have detected feces on his wiener many times during foreplay. I can imagine that conversation:
“How did you get poop here?”
“I was attempting a new wiping technique, apparently it doesn’t work. Let me go over to campus and take a shower.”
“You got poop here again.”
“Yeah, I took my kids, I mean students to the agricultural barn to let them take care of the horses. I wasn’t dressed appropriately. Let me go over to campus and take a shower.”
“Again?”
“Um, yeah. I decided to clean the toilets right after getting out of the shower, and those toilets needed some rigorous agitation. Let me go over to campus and take a shower.”
Was Dottie just unable to connect the dots, or was she the hypotenuse in Jerry’s love triangle? Was she really that oblivious and unobservant to what was going on around her, or was she a silent partner in Jerry’s crime ring?
One thing is for sure though-Dottie may be the most clueless person in the history of this world, but her devotion to Jerry despite his convictions make her the most loyal spouse in the history of matrimony.
