Back to reality (aka: Joz deals with the Parking Violations Bureau)

So after I got that STU-PID letter from Parking Violations last week, I decided I had to make it obvious that I was not the idiot for not including my ticket number on the correspondence, but rather, that it was someone over there who did not see it.

Now that I'm back from Gnomedex 4: Geeks Gone Wild, I saw the letter sitting on my desk, so I thought I'd send it back, complete with the ticket number highlighted in pink on my original letter to them.

Then I circled the ticket number with a green pen.

Then I drew red arrows around it, pointing to the ticket number.

Then I got my special purple/metallic silver pen and drew stars around the ticket number.

THEN, when I went to get a stamp, but found the *perfect* "sticker" to attach to the letter...

The "American FilmMaking: Behind the Scenes" commemorative stamps features a picture of Cecil B DeMille pointing at something (and someone else looking at what he's pointing to) while on the set of "Cleopatra." I cut out the background photo I made him point at the ticket number and then wrote next to it, "Cecil B DeMille says, 'Look! There's the ticket number!' (Paraphrasing, of course).

I've been told that this is going to piss off some Parking Violations office employee and that I'm going to get fined more EVEN MORE for this. If I do, I am going to start asking for donations to find a way to pay for all my parking tickets.

Anyway, I know you're waiting to see my work of art, so here it is... click to embiggen...
