Judge lets lawbreaker choose his own sentence

A Madison bus driver didn’t appreciate that a man urinated in the back of his bus last summer. When the same man tried to board his bus later the same day, the driver wouldn’t let him on.
As the bus pulled away, the man jumped onto the front of the bus and hung on for over a minute as the driver kept motoring.
In a plea agreement, the bus driver pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct.
Get this. A Madison judge is going to let the bus driver choose his own punishment. The two sentences he has to choose from:
1) 10 days in jail.
2) Probation for a year, after the conclusion of 80 hours of community service.
Letting the numbskull select his own sentence is dumb (The judge can't make a decision?), but is there any doubt what he’ll take?
He’ll be tickled to death to choose the 80 hours worth of licking envelopes.
Madison….goofy, goofy, Madison.
