Of course, if she ran a multi million dollar construction company she would have received bail.

On the topic of porcupines, I found some thing interesting and a little amusing.

The urban slang for the word.....

porcupine
A woman that has really been around

comes from the phrase "if she had as many dicks on her as shes had in her she'd look like a porcupine"
