It would be nice to have a ticket for being stupid (no points & a $40 fine) lol..
double-LOL, PG04...

reminds me of the story of the guy who goes into the auto parts place to get a new starter motor (this is a somewhat prehistoric-era story, from my youth...).

he harangues the guy behind the counter about the service, the price, how he could have fixed it himself cheaper, etc., etc., and finally hands over the $125 that the counter guy quoted him, takes the starter motor, and leaves the store.

another guy behind the counter has been watching and listening to the whole thing play out, and comes over to the first guy. "what was that all about?! you know that starter motor is only about $30 wholesale, and we sell it for $65 retail! why did you charge the guy $125?!!?"

"simple," the other guy answered, "$65 for the starter and an extra $60 for pi**ing me off."
