The moral choices in paying a citation
After going online to pay a parking ticket I got earlier, I noticed that the police officer who had the courage [and maybe anti-sleeping pills] to be awake around 3 am and give me a parking ticket had not only written down no VIN/Serial number of my car on the citation, he/she had also written down the incorrect license plate # [one letter was wrong] and the wrong color of the car.
I asked a number of people about it, to see whether I should just ignore it or I should be a good metropolitan and pay the ticket. All the boys I asked told me to keep the $20, party like it’s 1979 and throw a huge party [buy hot dogs from a department store and get water from the tap for everyone with such a huge amount of money?]. All the girls I asked told me to pay the ticket, to be on the safe side and thus have inner peace. That leaves no doubt in what the correct thing to do would be, right?

"…party like it’s 1979…."
That’s lame. It’s really hard anyway since I wasn’t around then. Heehee.
I’ll go to your party, if you throw one, despite the moral consequences of not paying your ticket.
