"About the jail thingy, not so funny, but it'd be fun to read the story."
I used to jam my (_|_) off. I went through speakers like people go through underwear. As far as jail, I always had really fast cars and they got me there too, especially drinking. My first car was a 1970 W-34 Olds Toronado, the only car in history to be classified as both a musclecar and a luxury car. I blew the doors off Corvettes if they had one of those boat anchor 305s in them, but the big block ones would beat me.
Anyway, this is the middle of a very hot summer but it was nighttime so I turned off the AC and opened the windows. You get tired of those electric bills. Cranking out my usual, Priest, this and that maybe some Floyd.
So the cops come. Top cop Simone actually, you can probably find him on the net. I went to the door and was escorted to the police car. Simone shit in my toilet, I could tell when I went back in.
Now this stereo was a little bit hard to figure out because I had a Pioneer SX-3800 I couldn't get the amp to work right for some reason and the actual amp was way down at the bottom. The Pioneer was just a tuner, the CD was playing. I ask if they wanted me to turn it off and they said "We'll turn it off for you". Bottom line he wanted to use the bathroom LOL. So I get back up there and everything was still turned on but a bunch of the cables were pulled.
So court is about a week later, the waiver seemed a bit high and I had enough experience with these people to know that you can get a lower fine when you actually show up. So I did and the fine was only ten bucks. However court costs brought it up to $67 and I onlt brought like $60 with me.
Now normally in Cleveland they will give you time to pay but this judge had something up the dupa that day and would not give time to pay. And most people do not expect to pay the fine right away, I guess if from out of town but as a resident they would always give you time.
They hauled all of our asses to the jail. I told them I could have the money down here in 15 minutes but that was no good.
So, it is like 95 degrees outside and the jail is cooled down to about 65. They could not "process" so many people so we still had our money, whatever. People got a poker game started, and I mean with real money. Back then almost noone had a cellphone but if they did they would still have them.
One Black guy was bitching about it being too cold and I said "Git up". I showed hi he was sitting right over the AC vent. I traded seats with him and got happiness, oh so cold, almost like a refrigerator cold. I hate to admit it but I am one of those people who would set the thermostat at 80 in the winter and 60 in the summer.
When you go to jail like that, the fine ad court costs are cancelled. Finally in the morning I got my phone call. Me and the olman had a double house, shared the utilities and all that, and he was particularly useful i getting people downtown. He had a little known shortcut. So I call him up and say "Umm, you didn't by chance pay my fine did you ?", he said "F___ no". I said "Good because guess where I am".
I was out of there in another hour and went to the local watering hole called "A Taste Of Honey". That was where everyone went when they got out of jail.
Also, during that phone call I found that the IRS found in my favor. I had a slightly complex tax situation with UI, 1099 ad W-2 income. I figured it out three ways, one way I owe them, another way they owe me like two bucks, another way they owe me alot more. I just attached it all and scrawled on it "DO IT FOR ME", which they will do. They sent me a bunch of money. By their rules it was wrong but since they figured it out, go ahead and audit me. YOU did it.
All in all it was a pretty good week.

Hahahahahaha! YOU are a goofy guy.
Thanks for the story.

I have had a pretty interesting life really. All that is over now but the memories. We had dogs playing frisbee at concerts. We had parties with 20 Harleys parked in the front yard, and people bitching about all the weed on the pool table. Yup, just roll yourself up one, no problem.
And that was my crowd, the olman was something else. He could get someone killed in China. He was also the proverbial fat Man with glasses that could get you anything, and I mean machine guns n shit.
I had an interesting life, but now it is boring. It was really good for a while but all good things come to an end. And I do not mind, if I drop dead tomorrow that is fine with me. I do not want to, but it would be OK. The world has changed. There is nowhere I can drive 100 MPH. I can't sit on the front porch and smoke a joint. Any more than like four beers you can't drive or you run the risk of a DUI, WHICH IS NOT RIGHT. I can drink a fucking 12 pack and still drive better than most cops sober, and I got proof. Well my word. TWICE they almost caused a wreck with me and though it would be their fault, it would be adjudged my fault. You know what I think about gun control ? Take them away from the cops first and then we'll talk.
And not to forget the cops who came to the bar with a suitcase full of guns for sale. The olman bought one, sold it to a Black guy and told the cops, and they reconfiscated it from him and returned it to the olman.
Maybe it was wrong, in fact yes it was wrong. But what would you have me do ? Go against my family and chosen family and side with the others ? Hell no, I knew better than to even think of something like that.
But really, most of these people are dead and I am not long to follow them. I can barely walk, I should not even ride a bicycle with my eyesight but could still shoot. Somewhat. I'll never have another driver's license. Yes I got a bunch of tickets but even after paying all this off I know I would flunk the eye test. This laptop has the largest screen I have ever see on a laptop and I can just barely read it. My server in the basement has a 23" monitor now and I can see that, at 800X600 or whatever it is on those widescreens.
You know they rip you off with those. For say a 19" screen, a perfectly square one would have the most pixels. With 4:3 there is less ad with 16:9 there is even less than that.
People do not know that because they were not taught geometry in school. At least not right. And now, industry is trying to sell less as more. You got five cardboard speakers and one one note woofer and they say it is better than like Boston A-150s. And people today NEVER HEARD A-150s. So they get away with it.
I think that is enough for now. Going to hell in a handbasket I guess. And if you want to get political, look at this totally ridiculous Presidential race coming up. Geezus, someone shoot me.
