Grammar Cop: Your Car's Been Repossessived

your-in-my-world.jpg


Defendant: Allstate Towing, NYC

Count 1: Failure to properly contract "you are" in the creation of a smug window decal.

Count 2: Rendering error adhesive so as to make it semi-permanent.

Count 3: Exposing general public to power trip-based smugness and grammatical indecency while relocating their vehicles.

Report: Officer spotted the vehicle and placed a call to nearby fellow officer, whose window and zoom lens offered the best opportunity for documenting the crime. Lack of a polarizing lens prevents you from seeing the man in the driver's seat. Just as well, as he was visibly over-Whoppered.

Fine: $130 and a Get Out Of Pound free card.

Thank heaven that my world doesn't include those hideous red and yellow stripes on anything.

Does the Grammar P.D. have a Statistics Abuse Division ? There's no shortage of dubious action in the numbers racket.

There's a typo in this post. Count 2 is written, "... to as to make it..." It should read, "...so as to make it..."

[ I should stop letting Ecuadorians proofread my posts, but they're so much cheaper. -B. ]

Wow, the driver took that day off from the trailer park? How special.

The offending car owner could just order that tow truck off his premiseses!
