Man arrested for spitting on Fonda
Kansas City, MO
Fonda, 67, spoke at Unity Temple on The Plaza about her new book, "My Life So Far," and her new movie with Jennifer Lopez called "Monster-In-Law."At about 9 p.m. (Tuesday Night), police said a man who had been waiting in line for about 90 minutes, passed a book to Fonda and then spit a large amount of tobacco juice into her face.
So the guy waited in line for an hour and a half just for the pleasure of spitting a wad of chew on Hanoi Jane. Michael A. Smith, 54, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, which is a city charge. Fonda has declined to file charges against the man.

BTW, once I figure out to put the MT tag for categories this will show in the "Funnies" category.
