It's a sign of respect that they appreciate and I highly recommend it.<br />I have gotten out of 2 speeding tickets that way. Then again, it could be because I'm cute. Or it could be because I made the one officer laugh. He said to me - "You should have seen the look on your face." He couldn't stop laughing. <br /><br />I have to fix everything now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959421437685249408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-11277540456169055342014-04-30T21:55:31.626-04:002014-04-30T21:55:31.626-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959421437685249408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-38277587911719630922014-04-30T15:55:36.089-04:002014-04-30T15:55:36.089-04:00Like other aspects of classical Japanese culture (...Like other aspects of classical Japanese culture (e.g. the tea ceremony), a way to find virtue in necessity, and beauty in the exigencies of poverty.<br /><br />Someone should launch a New American Aesthetic that sees the subtle beauty in darned socks and fenders patched with Bondo.

The whole thing positively obnoxious. <br /><br />All my unartistic scribblings on their paperwork mark me as straightup crackpot, because, <i>I am</i>. <br /><br />And I'm likely to get another speeding ticket because I'm still cross with the whole thing and still a crackpot. <br /><br />Chip Ahoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597726289890879627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-62440855225807613932014-04-30T10:47:19.645-04:002014-04-30T10:47:19.645-04:00The Japanese are also responsible for the water bo...The Japanese are also responsible for the water bomb and the cootie catcher.rhhardinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06901742898653890646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-18703138668660743112014-04-30T10:17:07.925-04:002014-04-30T10:17:07.925-04:00Maybe you can make something out of your ticket?<a href="http://batshitcrazynews.com/2014/04/these-bills-are-for-the-birds/" rel="nofollow">Maybe you can make something out of your ticket?</a>Evi L.
