The most expensive poker game I will ever play.

A question for you, dear reader.

Does a parking violation for "stopping in a bus zone," when there are barely any cars around (let alone buses), in the crack-whore area of town where sherriff resources could be much better utilized, really warrant a $250 ticket?

Yes, I will contest the goddamned ticket. But I will lose. And I will pay. And never again will I offer to drive anyone back to BART after walking away from the game disappointed at losing a lousy $10.
