If you have time to kill, or just want a lark, go to traffic court. The excuses can be
very funny.
One girl ticketed for littering had a defense of "But it was biodegradable!"
A girl with a parking ticket brought in a photo showing that the No Parking sign had been removed by the city (I don't believe that the city removed it for a minute) a few days after she was ticketed.
The judge said to one guy "I see you were pulled over for driving with your lights on".
"Yes, your honor, I had just left a brightly lit establishment."
"Yes, You had just pulled out of (name forgotten) Joe's Bar."
"Yes, your honor.
"I also see that you were driving with a revoked license."
"Yes, your honor, but It was only for a few blocks to pick something up for my mother."
"I also see that your mother did not give you permission to drive her car."
My problem was not laughing out loud. The kid just couldn't win.
