a parking ticket.

So I went up to him and said, 'Come on buddy, how about giving a
guy a break?'

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a
pencil necked nazi. He glared at me and started writing another
ticket for having bald tires!!

So I called him a horse sh|t. He finished the second ticket and put
it on the car with the first. Then he started writing a third
ticket!!

This went on for about 20 minutes, the more I abused him, the more
tickets he wrote. I didn't give a damn. My car was parked around
the corner.

:D


Can they give you a ticket for bald tires?

yes, if the tread in certain spots is less than something like 1/8 of an inch I think

So they come by with a ruler and measure it????

maybe they do the quarter trick. if the tread goes past washington's chin, then you're okay. (i think thats what it is at least.)

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you hit some gravel/oil/water in the road and had slicks on your car? I lost a Porsche that way. :Q:(

Heh, cute but I'll never try it. More than likely the officer would just arrest me for harassing him. :p
