You don't need floods when you have water on the brain.

So this lady leaves her car, quite legitimately, in a car park. The park is on a hillock, and she parks it near the top.

The floods come.

When she returns her car is untouched, but unreachable as the water around it is waist deep. She decides that not only is it pointless getting to the car since she couldn't drive it out, but that it is probably dangerous as well, there's quite a current in that water.

The following day she returns to see if the floods have gone down. They haven't, but on her car she can now see a parking ticket.

Someone has waded through that waist deep water for the sole purpose of ticketing a car that obviously can't be moved.

I wouldn't have waded through that water even if the car deserved to be ticketed. You do have to wonder what goes through the minds of some people sometimes.

I guess it's anything for a bonus.

Town in 'Not flooded' shock, horror.The jet stream jets off.

I guess I don't have much patience for such idiocy. I met a similiar officer here in Florida who stopped my son who was walking down the street in the middle of the afternoon. His reason.... he looked sad. I first gave him a big piece of my mind then gave him a list of objects I had noticed in the road that needed to be removed for safety reasons and that would not be such a ridiculous waste of taxpayer funds. At the end of my tirade, my son looked at him and said, "I warned you she was coming".

Your son has an admirable way with words. He could grow up to be a disc-jockey.

...That's just despicable.

His brother is a disc-jockey.

Hey! I guess we get everywhere.

Get him to learn to play guitar and quick. Someone has to provide the music for all those DJs to play...

He did a lot of singing when he was younger, then piano, then tried the violin in high school. A girl next to him accused him of playing wrong notes. He indignantly told her he did NOT, that he hadn't played any notes at all, he just faked it. That was the end of the music career.

Faking it?

Yeah, he's going to be a DJ...
