The Harris County Criminal Justice Center often contains unsual sights.

Brian Rogers, a Houston Chronicle courts/crime reporter, put together a tumblr of face tattoos. Often you can marvel at the informal clothing people choose to wear to their court appearances.

The husband Bill often sends me picture of food (I like food) and strange things he encounters. But the picture below defies explanation.

Without cropping this closer to make it crystal clear what this is in its grotesqueness, the picture below is a used condom that Bill saw near the elevator bank of the court house. Yuck, sorry, but whoa.

How did this get here? Did someone have sex at the court house, and if so where? Did someone have this in their pocket going through security and decide to leave it on the floor instead of the many trashcans and bathrooms in the building?

Some things in life you sort of want to know and not know at the same time, you know? I really can't come up with any rational explanation for this.
