Of course! Great movie. It reminds me of a slightly funny story: 8 years ago I had a warrant out for my arrest due to a speeding ticket that I forgot to pay. A client turned it up during a background check (er, um, ah, yeah, ahhh..., is it hot in here?) and so I trudged off to the county office to see what the deal was. They gave me a few options, one of which was to "wait" until a trial time opened up that day. What the heck, I thought, I'll wait - let's just get it taken care of. Well, they threw me into the general lockup with my suit, but sans my belt, shoes, and other stuff! Hanging out in a general lock up in a suit is not fun at first. However I turned on the charm and was soon known as "the counselor" dispensing legal advice to the soon to be convicts. Anyway I met all kinds of "colorful" people. Various low-grade criminals who were looking at 5-10, a "rock star" (term I learned for crack user), and this really smart guy who turned out to be an international heroin smuggler. After about 5 hours they chained 10 of us together and then frisked us. They led us to a holding area and one-by-one we were brought in front of the judge. After hearing my tale the judge was laughing so hard that he said I'd suffered enough and dropped the whole thing. When I left I felt like I'd been in jail 5 years! I really felt like freedom was gift even though I'd only been in the pokey a few hours. It was a great experience. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:165829 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
