Judge defines 'wooden stick'

A Cincinnati law governing picketers' behavior on Fountain Square forbids anyone to use a sign held with a stick.

A U.S. District Court judge temporarily lifted the ban Thursday while the city and a local man battle about whether the law violates a person's right to free speech.

But Judge Sandra S. Beckwith was quick to add: Any stick used has to meet certain criteria.

It must be wood. It cannot be more than 2 inches wide. It cannot be more than a quarter of an inch thick. It cannot be more than three quarters of an inch in diameter. It must be blunt on both ends.

1. So Carrying A Sign Taped To A Javelin Is Out Of The Question, Eh?

How about this one attached to a spear? No?
