Have you ever walked out to your car in the morning to find that dreaded yellow envelope sticking outside your door? Yep, you guessed it. It's street sweeping day and you forgot to move your car b/c 1) you're an idiot like me and forgot to put reminders in your phone 2) you signed up for text message reminders but they never seem to be sent to you or 3) you lack the intelligence that your neighbor the pilot possesses. So I decide to pay my ticket online and of course I flip the ticket over for instructions and happen to notice the first thing it says. "TO VIOLATOR" What? To Violator. Who you calling a violator? I didn't commit any awful crime. I forgot to move my car. I'd feel better if it even said, "To Idiot" or "To Moron" or even "To Dumb@ss." No, it says "TO VIOLATOR." Imagine if you could change the wording on the back of the ticket before they got sent off to the printer.
Let's start with what it says:
TO VIOLATOR:
Within 20 calendar days you are summoned to respond to the charge of violating the revised Municipal Code of the City and County of Denver, Colorado, blah, blah, blah.
Imagine changing it to this and the reaction on your neighbor's face when he decides to read the back of the ticket:
TO VIOLATOR:
Within 20 calendar days you are summoned to respond to the charge of violating children in your neighborhood based on video surveillance recently installed by the City and County of Denver, Colorado, blah, blah, blah. Oh, snap!
Ok that's bad-idea jeans, but damn that would be funny.
