In the bumfuck burg of Kingston — not to be confused with Kensington, where cops have actual crime with which to concern themselves — which is over near Pittsburgh (this story says that it's in northeastern Penn., but Google Maps begs to differ), pop. 13,855, the long arm of the local law has reached into that scourge of iniquity known as a middle school teacher's lounge, where teachers were allegedly — get a load of this — GAMBLING ON THE SUPER BOWL. The school superintendent even confiscated $45 from this vile gambling pool, and the cops say that, had this evil ring been allowed to continue, some $3,000 might have been wagered, in a friendly manner.

This shall not stand.The cops who investigated this very important crime are going to talk with prosecutors next week; with any luck, these gambling deviants will all be fired and jailed by the end of the month, and Kingston kids can go back to learning that the earth is 6,000 years old, or whatever it is they teach the youngins over in Pennsyltucky, free from the pernicious influence of small-time, behind-closed-door betting.

There is a Kingston in NEPA. It's not far from Wilkes-Barre. And it wouldn't surprise me if cops there would horridly arrest middle school teachers for a $45 bet on the Super Bowl, either.
