I paid it, dammit.
So I bit the bullet and paid the dumbass parking ticket.
But I didn't want to. And it wasn't fun.
But I did leave a nice little message on my check... THAT was kind of fun...
UPDATE:
I really didn't give a flying fuck if they couldn't cash it, but Mike says that I better be careful because they might not deposit it (and therefore charge more, come after me, etc, etc.)
Call me chicken, but to save myself a potential headache (& more money), I re-opened my envelope and put a line through the word "Fucking" and initialed it.
So the check is now properly made out to "The City of Fucking L.A."
omg, That's great!
I think I love you.
PRICELESS
you are the woman
barely do i give the title to someone else
but I totally BOW to you !!!
This is awesome
Did you really send that off. I don't know that they'll be able to bank that sweetie? LOL!
Posted by: Jessica Parker at March 1, 2003 02:23 PMYes, I really did send it (well it's all stamped and ready to go for Monday, anyway).
And I really don't give a flying fuck if they can't deposit it. I paid it, dammit.

Posted by: edd at March 1, 2003 05:17 PMOh, thats just priceless. When I was in College my roomates and I would always put dumb stuff down in the comment line when we'd write our checks for certain things. The pizza guy got pissed when I put BJ there, even though I gave him a nice tip. ;)
Posted by: Kevin at March 1, 2003 08:01 PMHeh..that's awesome. I just hope they can cash it...

In NY, last year sometime there was a judge that actually fined someone for doing something similar. I was a little afraid, because I received a parking ticket for parking in front of a fire hydrant... Only when I parked there, I couldn't see it because there was snow piled on top of it...
In the memo line, I put "to pay bullshit fine, enjoy the donuts".
So, this judge issues people (not me, thankfully) fines for indecency or contempt or something like that... I wish I saved the yahoo link to the story.
Posted by: Bill at March 2, 2003 06:21 AMOh, that's GREAT!
Posted by: erika at March 2, 2003 07:46 AMWell even if you commented out the line, the message is stll there for them to read. A+
;)
Posted by: Kevin at March 2, 2003 11:33 AMaaaaaaaaahaha. i love that cheque!
Posted by: Cat at March 2, 2003 02:53 PMomg, that's something I totally would do. I bet they will cash it, or they could be total dicks about it, but you did pay it, not much they can do about it. lol
Posted by: Dania at March 2, 2003 05:49 PMbwahahhahahaha... that. is. awesome. I have a few tickets I would like to make out to "City of Philadelphia Assholes"
Posted by: sphinx at March 2, 2003 05:52 PM...then there was the bad-ass motorcycle cop who pulled me over for starting my walk through the intersection agains the blinking red hand. The fine, you ask? SEVENTY BLINKING DOLLARS.
Posted by: Brent at March 3, 2003 10:43 AMMy state SO doesn't take checks when paying for tickets, cash, cashier's check, or money orders only!!!
Posted by: Drew at March 3, 2003 02:25 PMWhere did you get the Grover checks? Those kick ass!
Posted by: Jason at March 4, 2003 08:33 PMJason, I think I got the checks from some designer check place. I am moving, so everything is packed up... they're actually Sesame Street checks... with Elmo, Big Bird, the Count, etc.
Posted by: :: jozjozjoz :: at March 4, 2003 11:30 PMOMG! Joc you rock.
Never been to LA but im sure it blows jsut as much as here.
LMAO--that is beautiful!
Posted by: Jennifer at March 5, 2003 11:03 PMThe most amusing thing to me was Grover's perky, smiling face all over this thing. For some reason, I now have this mental image of Grover talking about "The City of Fucking L.A." - it's an interesting juxtaposition!
Thanks for the chortle!
