Ok, I know that was sneaky, but I need help with clipart for a gutter co./ manufacturer. Any thoughts? This is the first time that I've completely gone dry.

ST. ALBANS (UK) — Somewhere out there is a flasher who's probably looking for a new line of work, following a case of indecent exposure gone awry.
The St. Albans Observer reports that a man who had attempted to expose himself to a woman walking her dog received the bite of his life right on his livelihood.
On April 13, Ms. Jacqui Jones, 55, was taking her dog Tara for a walk in Verulamium Park, St Albans when they were confronted by a man wearing a blue overcoat. According to Ms. Jones, the man jumped out from behind a tree and opened up, exposing himself fully. Tara, a German Shepherd mix who—as Ms. Jones describes—has a "natural distaste for men", leaped into action and bit the man in the crotch.
"As soon as he opened up his raincoat, Tara just went for him," says Ms. Jones. "He must have been in some pain because although there was no blood he walked away with a very strange limp."
Ms. Jones told reporters, "I could see the man was in a state of excitement but Tara wiped the smile off his face. He hobbled away doubled up in agony."
Neither Ms. Jones nor her dog was injured. The woman said, "I wasn't frightened by the incident, just shocked. You don't expect to see that sort of thing."
Ms. Jones had adopted Tara from Kimpton Kennels seven months ago. The dog had been mistreated by her former owner (presumably a man) and has become very protective of her new guardian.
Says Ms. Jones, "Tara is a very loyal dog and if the man had any sense he wouldn't have gone for someone who has a dog with them."
Police are currently looking for a white male in his 40's, 5ft 6in, skinny build with short dark hair and was wearing a blue overcoat. Anyone with information should call the area crime unit an 01707 638102.
Verulamium park has been the site of several flasher incidents in the past year. However, it may be a while before this particular flasher tries to show his face (or any other part) again. My guess is that he's probably pursuing a new career at the opera.
