I need to be in jail on April 3 so I can't bid on this scrap metal...
« on: March 26, 2012, 08:51:37 PM »
I sure don't need any more scrap metal; maybe there's some misdemeanor I can commit to get jailed on April 3 so there's just no chance I can bid on this attractive thing for which I have no earthly need; someone please bid it up in case I escape in time
 
help me! help me! make that thing go away

I'd like to be able to remove this temptation from your grasp, I really would, it's just that my wallet's a little light right now.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

I promise if I win the lottery (368 million) I will force myself to save you from this delemia..... of course realize if I win the lottery I will probably save you from many future delemias also..... may not be what you really want..... of course I would have to play the lottery which I don't...... So I guess you are on your own on this one......

I'm in the same boat as everyone else.  My machine that prints $100 dollar bills is currently out of order. :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

John, don't dispare, you are entitled to one phone call from jail and could still make a bid.

As Barney Fife used to say, "Citizens' arrest, Citizens' arrest"!
 
Good luck, John! You can post bail in the amount of the price of the cannon.  ;D ::)

Be interesting to see if they get the estimated price, or more.
