Out, Out, Damn Ticket

The Coeur d'Alene Police Department shouldn't expect that guy in the black 2-door Ford, with Kootenai County plates, to pay that $15 parking ticket issued by K301 at 9:40 this morning -- you know, the one who grabbed the ticket and envelope, wadded them up and tossed them on the ground. He'd parked his Ford front end into a tiny parking space, leaving the trunk and bumper hanging out onto Rosenberry Drive (Dike Road), adjacent to North Idaho College. 'Ere he drove outta sight, I picked up the ticket during a noon time walk and tucked it into my back pocket. Hey, I don't want to see the scofflaw get a littering ticket, too.

Question: Do you promptly pay your parking tickets?
