How Not To Pay a Parking Ticket

cohensh writes "A Purdue engineering student was arrested for terroristic mischief. After receiving a parking ticket and having a boot put on his car he put the ticket, boot and payment in a box and left it at parking services. Someone thought the box was suspicious and the building was evacuated. Eventually it was traced back to the student who was arrested for 'leaving something that a reasonable person may think is a weapon of mass destruction.'"

    This is insane. What reasonable person would assume that a box left at a parking agency was a weapon of mass destruction? What terrorist bombs a minor college parking station?

    Goddamn.

      It's not insane. My father was killed by a shoe box, and my mother was raped by a packing crate.

      Boxes are dangerous! The Republicans are absolutely correct when they insist on cowering in fear whenever they see a box.
