    Hie guys, i hope you are having fun in da lounge. Got this dilemma, maybe it can happen to you in the course of life. Here it goes ... Supposed you r @ work then you recieve a call that your mother and your wife have been arrested and you have been asked to come down to the police station. You then go and then upon arrival you are told that for them to be freed you have to pay a $10 fine for each or else they will spend the night in the filthy cells. You dip your hand in the pocket and find out that you only have $10 on you. No one will help you with the other $10. Who will you pay for, your mother or wife.

      I wish they release your mother and wife, take your $10 and jail you for the rest of your life with no internet access, of course.

                    Give the $10 to the cop to apologise for the rotten evening he's about to have. More likely I would not have gone to the station at all as I would have been to drunk to drive.

                                Two questions, Chamu: 1) who did you bail out? 2) what was the offense that only had a $10 fine? Here in California, turning right at a red light without stopping is $421, plus court costs.
