I really, really wanted to look just like Haley Mills. After seeing that movie, I was CONVINCED I had a secret, long lost identical twin sister.

Using his own free will, the police officer made the decision to write the tickets on his own. No one forced, coerced, or compelled him to do as such. If he allowed his emotions to overcome his professionalism, that (again) was his own choice.

What's sick is that someone would bait the police like that because someone has different political views than them. I've seen the same joke with Hillary's name on it and I once had a mechanic refuse to fix my car because I had a Texas Democrats bumper sticker.

20. A couple of true stories

Small town stories from 40 years ago: My brother-in-law, rest his soul, came out from a store and saw he had a parking ticket. He nonchalantly took it off his car and put it on the car beside his. He did get pay back for that, though. He bought a fifth of whiskey, took it to his car and put it under the front seat. He ran a few more errands, returned to his car and went home. Felt around under his seat and no fifth. Turned out, his vehicle was parked beside an identical car and he put his booze in the wrong one.

Episode "How Green Was My Apple." The Bundy family did something similar to the D'Arcys.

It might have been about Romney or McCain.
