Happy Festivus...A story that could only come out of Orange County

Found this story on msn.com.  An inmate in Orange County, out of concern for his diet tried, to get something different than the usual salami meal.  Unfortunately for the inmate, kosher meals are reserved for inmates with religous reasons for not eating the standard prison meal.  He complained and  when brought before a judge his lawyer cited Festivus - a holiday created by Frank Costanza from Seinfeld.  It worked too for a little bit, the inmate got kosher meals for 2 months before the county had the order thrown out.  You can read the rest of the story here

And if you'd like to learn about the wonderful holiday of Festivus watch this:
