Bail A Sista Out?

I got a ticket in January.  The policeman told me I would get a notice about a court appearance in about 4 weeks.  Nothing came.  I called the court.  They said the ticket hadn't been turned in and the officer had a year to do so.  I needed to check every couple of weeks to see if it had been turned in. 

Nada.

Yesterday I received a warrant for my freakin' arrest! 

Although the address was right on the ticket, the one printed on the warrant is incorrect and it bounced around a bit before getting to me.  Arrgh!  Anyway, I call the traffic court again, and there's no ticket yet.  This time they say I should come to the court house to get a stamp that says I've been trying to check.

Now, on my last day off before the end of May, I'm waiting for my friend Cathy to come and chauffeur me around town to various establishments so I don't have to worry about being stopped on the road, handcuffed and taken downtown to the pokey.  If you don't hear from me for a while, please send yarn c/o the county jail.

I'm scared....

F&#%ing donuteaters! WTH? How can a warrant be issued for a ticket never turned in? I don't get it. I'll have to ask The Man, lemme know if it was one of his Brownshirt Brothers what did it...

Yikes, we definitely don't want you going to Las Colinas. Them b#%ches is hard. And you soft. I'd send you cigarettes though. ;)

A year to turn it in? You've got to be kidding me... damn lazy ass cop.

And I'd send you yarn but they won't let you have knitting needles or a crochet hook cuz those are dangerous weapons a gangsta like you could purl shank someone to death... or at least poke an eye out. :)
