The letter that got me out of a parking ticket OR I think I got this humour writing thing down to a science.

A few months back, I forgot to pay for parking and was dinged with a $50 fine. It was completely by accident so very annoying overall. Anyway, because it was an accident, I thought I would have a go at writing a silly letter to get out of paying.

Well, I found out it worked, so it just goes to show... Well, I dunno what it goes to show (perhaps this is where those in the know with behaviour and the like can pipe it), but here it is (word or word) for record keepings sake:

REASONS WHY I DIDN'T PAY MY TICKET.

In light of everything going on in provincial and federal politics, I was simply having a go at
"sticking it to the man." Who knew I would get caught.

Avian Flu Virus. Scary stuff. Aren't ticket dispensers and chickens closely related?

Obviously, like everyone else, I was distraught at Jayla being let go from the previous night's America's Top Model episode.

If I have a Doctorate, does that mean this counts as a Doctor's Note?

Didn't I read somewhere that when gas prices went over a buck a litre, parking would become free. Or wait, was that when pigs could fly.

Isn't Thursday must see TV? Clearly, I was distracted.

You know, maybe I did see a pig fly.

Honest to goodness, I forgot. Just plain forgot. Happens sometimes I suppose.
