million dollar bill

I got stopped by a policeman a few days back because I expertly ran thru what was obviously a red light for me. I don't even know why I did it. I guess I just wasn't in the mood to sit around and wait while the light turned green when there were no other cars on that crossroad except me. Unfortunately, MrPoliceman did not seem to think I was being amusing and proceeded to lecture me and at the same time was about to start writing me a ticket.

I did what I normally did in times like this. I turned on the charm and I laid it on thick. I smiled, I winked, I touched his arm, I played the innocent card, I played the guilty card, I played every card I knew but the MrPoliceman was not being receptive to any of my charms which made me even more determined. I've charmed my way out of tickets so many times, it's almost impossible to count so there was no way I was gonna get a ticket this time just because this moron's skull was too thick.

Then it hit me. The reason why MrPoliceman was not being receptive was because he was adamant for a bribe! In fact, at first he kept hinting about it but after awhile he was being downright direct. Saying things like, 'Why don't you buy me coffee? Or why don't you pay for my dinner?'. And believe me, that was not an invitation for me to date him or anything like that. It was a blatant way of asking for a bribe. I was mortified. I don't do bribes. So I told him, 'You know what? Just give me the ticket. I'll pay the fine'. He was quite surprise by this and kept asking me if I was sure and if I could afford the large sum cos all it would take is a few ringgit to make it go away. This really pissed me and I repeated again to please just give me the ticket.

After much huffing and puffing and Lord know what else he was doing, I finally got the ticket. I rolled up my window and drove away. Paid the fine the next day and with this post I am putting that entire event behind me. Way too much corruption and moronic fools in our lives these days. Why give in to them?
