I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music, Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear. Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March. CAESAR: What man is that? BRUTUS: A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March. CAESAR: Set him before me; let me see his face. CASSIUS: Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar. CAESAR: What say'st thou to me now? Speak once again. Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March. CAESAR: Let us take heed of what this man speaks and therefore let us ride to Camelot. CASSIUS: Camelot! BRUTUS: Camelot! Soothsayer: It's only a model. IP: Logged

llamas Member	posted 03-19-2007 07:35 AM I had to go to traffic court on the 15th. I know the officer, the officer knows me, and it's understood around here that if you're a township resident with a clean driving record and you don't treat the officer like a complete d*k, that you can get a large measure of relief on a ticket if you're prepared to show up for traffic court and accept the fine more-or-less unaltered. Revenue is maintained but people are not exceptionally punished for minor violations. But, of course, you have to go though the motions, stand up before the magistrate and at least say something on which he can base the re-write of the ticket - even if it's only 'sorry'. I don't know the magistrate. Never met the man. I stand up when the time comes and give some extenuating details - I rolled through a stop sign. So shoot me. He looks at me and says 'anyone who talks like you do gets my attention. Tell you what - if you can tell me what day it is today, I'll not only write this down to 'unsafe start' (no record, no points) but I'll forgive the district court costs as well. How about it?' Says I 'Who is it in the press that calls on me? I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music, cry 'Caesar!' Speak, Caesar is turned to hear . . . . ' I knew that grammar-school education would come in handy, sooner or later. Saved me a whole $25, it did. llater, llamas ------------------ . . . a truly bad and evil man. So bad and evil that he's banned by Kim du Toit. "All things are ready, if our minds be so."
