I’m Married to a Misdemeanorer
Oh yeah, Mike got a ticket. He was booming the bass in his truck a little too loudly. He’s kicking himself for it, because he knows he was in the wrong. He’s not arguing the ticket, but with the threat of jail, he’s decided to put the stereo up for sale. Yeah, see, a noise violation like that is a misdemeanor, and the cop said if he gets caught again they’ll put him in jail. Seriously? Jail? I understand why a DUI is a misdemeanor with jail time for repeat offenders, but a loud stereo? It seems a bit overkill if you ask me.

Wow, that is a bit harsh! That should be a civic infraction at most!

Send those policeman down here to Dearborn Heights! We have two (possibly three) cars that are always booming their stereos. We can hear them before we see them. It is so annoying.
Sorry that Mike got that ticket though. It is rough having to grown up and give up your toys.

That’s nothing. My mom is a felon! She got busted for transporting cigarettes across state lines (like 4 cartons if I remember right). It turns out that is a felony. I never heard the outcome of her court date. In my family if you don’t speak of evil, it doesn’t actually exist.
And Mom R, don’t worry about my toys. They have just grown up too (home theater). The ad for my stereo says I will consider trades for a Playstation 3.

Oh, holy crimany! Jail? Yeah, because people who appreciate a little funky bass are the REAL criminals out there. Geeeeeeez.

Oh, brother. A Playstation 3? Do we really need more video games at our house?

I just have to share the irony in the whole story - he was listening to Rage Against the Machine when they pulled him over. You know, that damn the man, government oppression stuff.

No Mindy, not for the video games, for the Blu-Ray player. Sheesh.
