He had a public defender and it felt great to stick it to the man. I figure the guy left, went to bar to celebrate and then drove his car into a group of school kids touring the local zoo.

Makes getting traffic tickets a breeze. <br /><br />I agree with QL about unleashing Evil Twin at the court house. Especially with the possibility of a gushing artery, she'd really enjoy the experience and get you out of there much faster.
