If you don't see a ticket or it is washed away or whatever, you get a
notification in the mail. Of course, the notification is to tell you the
ticket has been tripled for non-payment and a $50 administration fee
tacked onto it so that a $15 is now $95. They don't care if you never
got/saw the ticket.

Number 4 is the same for police officers as well - they're too busy
eating doughnuts (or "donuts" as American incorrectly spell it). ;-)

The silly thing is having irate illegal parkers occasionally willing to
go "postal" (sorry to use the undeserved pejorative term for emphasis)
if their freedom to park is questioned. Parking wardens should not have
to be afraid of parking miscreants.

If unrestrained gratuitous gun fights were common in parking lots, people wouldn't need to subscribe to cable TV to watch gratuitous gun fights and cop shows on TV, and this would greatly hurt the Hollywood economy which depends a lot on people craving for violence on TV. Its bad enough that mass murders in primary schools is becoming common now. TV networks can't produce shows that include them anymore.

Even if it was meant as a joke (far from certain) some people might take it seriously. After all, if it's on the Internet you have to believe it, even if you would doubt it if somebody walked up to you on the street and told you the same thing.

And this, from a guy who considers Airplane !!! to be a documentary on early 1980s airline travel. (which was actually from a 1950s documentary called "Zero Hour") So I I considered that exploding Pillbury dought to be a joke, I don't understand why anyone would actually take it seriously. Perhaps some people are so deeply entranched into their political religion/cult that they see any reference to their party as an attack which must be defended.

This, for no reason in particular, remindes me of: There once was an old maid from Wooster, Who dreamt that a man had seduced her. But when she awoke, She found it a joke. A bump in the mattress had goosed her. -- Sam Conservatives are against Darwinism but for natural selection. Liberals are for Darwinism but totally against any selection.
