BULLSH*T: The Final Chapter
Faithful readers may remember the story of Michigan resident Robert Militzer, from just a couple of days ago. Militzer, in protest of a parking ticket he disagreed with, wrote "BULLSHIT MONEY GRAB" in the memo area of the check he sent for payment to the court in the city of Berkley, only to wind up facing criminal contempt of court charges.
Well, the charges were dismissed yesterday when Militzer apologized to the court... or did he? Militzer's ACLU-provided attorney, speaking on his behalf, said in court, "My client does regret any offense that he made to the court. He disagrees with the ticket but had no intent of offending the court."
Militzer still believes that he's right, but that the downside made such a proposition unattractive. He says that he reserves the right to protest unjust tickets in the future -- but next time, he'll avoid using profanity.
So, all's well that ends well? Hmmm... I still smell a little bullshit...

Nice to see the "little" guy win one for a change!! Way to go!!!
Next time, he should still write the same thing, but put in an asterisk for one letter. Then they can't do shit. I am a vindictive wench.
Better yet, next time he should just include some bullshit in the envelope. Just enough to share the aroma. Of course, the poor clerk who has to open it isn't the one who dealt the bullshit to begin with . . .
Or fart in the envelope although the aroma would probably dissipate there would still be a certain satisfaction factor. (I just shocked myself.... I think I have been hanging around the "fat farm boy" a tad too long)
