He promptly informed the man that he must vacate the aisle, as lying in the aisle was a violation of the fire code. Getting no response, the usher threatened to call the manager. All the man could say was "UGGHHHH. The manager, summoned by the usher, also informed the man that he must get up from the aisle. The man said, "UGGHHHH". "Sir," the manager responded, "if you don't leave, I will get the police." "UGGHHHH," came the man's reply. Finally, the local policeman entered the theater and began to talk to the man. "Mister, you're going to have to leave immediately." "UGGHHHH," was the response. The cop, beginning to notice that man was obviously in pain, then asked "Where did you come from, Buddy?" The man opened his eyes, attempted to focus them on the officer, and said in a low voice, "The balcony." -- "... only to reaffirm my belief that there are calloused ***holes like you in the world who believe that "free speech" gives them the right to say whatever comes into their shallow little minds.
