Man just paying his DMV fine of $3000. https://nypost.com/2017/01/13/man-pays-inconvenient-dmv-fine-with-300k-pennies/

Good for him!

I don't understand this quote though, "To increase the hassle-factor, he paid workers a total of $440 to break open paper rolls of the pennies and dump them into the wheelbarrows." I wouldn't have paid them anything! Let them count it. It's their flippin' job.

Buy a truck and get an American Starter Kit at Chatom Ford in Alabama. They include a Bible, Shotgun, and American flag with every purchase!

for me as a non-native user of the english language it seems that he hired people to help him to get the pennies out of the paper rolls to increase the difficulty to count for the peolpe who collect the fine. If he had paid with paper rolled pennies, it would just have been too easy for the people who collected the fine to count it.

Yeah. I was reading that wrong. I kept thinking he was paying the DMV workers. Thanks. At least someone is paying attention.

Judith Draper : After reviewing all the testimony, the disciplinary committee unanimously votes to admonish Dr. Solomon.

Dr. Dick Solomon : What does that mean?

Judith Draper : You're officially admonished.

Dr. Dick Solomon : Does that come with a pay cut?

Judith Draper : No, but if there's another violation, you will be censured.

Dr. Dick Solomon : Does that come with a pay cut?

Judith Draper : No, but if that fails to stop you, you will be sanctioned, which means a thirty day suspension.

Dr. Dick Solomon : With pay?

Judith Draper : Yes, with pay.

Dr. Dick Solomon : Well, that sounds pretty good. Could I be sanctioned right now?

Judith Draper : No, we're adjourned.

Apropos of nothing, here is one of my favorite character monologues. Kurtwood Smith at his best in the "Patriot" series on Amazon. This is what our customers must hear when we overuse industry jargon:

Well, that's one way to keep your stats high!

Meanwhile, in a land down under, the laid back, understated press release lives on...

MAZDA AUSTRALIA HAS BEEN FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON ONE OF THEIR POPULAR SMALL CARS OVER FEARS THAT THE WHEELS COULD BECOME LOOSE AND FALL OFF. http://www.kiis1011.com.au/news/recall-mazda-3-australia-2019-wheel-nuts-loose

Saw this once. It is a Mazda, but pretty sure those aren't factory original studs/lugs:
