I fell off my chair laughing. And then called everyone I knew to run out and get a copy. Plus, it is so gratifying to read that I made it JUST under the line, by getting a parking ticket LAST Saturday (in front of my own house, while I was getting my hair cut on Main Street) so it will set me back a mere $ 28. (The part about upping the fines behind closed doors, because “such an important issue (had to be) dealt with privately” — absolutely priceless!) P.S. Hard to top last year’s Ferris Wheel spinning into the Pacific, but that was mere fun, this is too too TRUE.
