MERCER, Pa. - A Pennsylvania mom is going to jail for allegedly stripping at her teenage son's birthday party. Prosecutors charged that 35-year-old Patricia Johnson provided the entertainment when plans to ride go-carts fizzled. Yesterday, a judge sentenced Johnson to serve three to 15 months in jail. She pleaded guilty last month to a misdemeanor corruption charge and furnishing alcohol to minors. But Johnson didn't admit she stripped for the 13 to 16-year-old boys at a hotel. Authorities say Johnson bought beer for her son and three friends -- and licked their faces while she did her striptease act. Johnson says her unusual behavior was fueled by pills and alcohol.
Fact of the Day
Lenses were named during the thirteenth century for their vague resemblance in shape to lentils — from the Italian word lenticchie for "lentils," which was later changed to the Italian lente for "lens." For more than 300 years, lenses were called "glass lentils."
