Nutso!

Daily writing prompt
Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

You gotta be kidding, I mean, asking a former brother of the road who hitched around for years, a die-hard pipe toking Folkie, and an inveterate jaywalker this question! I mean, what are those guys at Prompt Central slipping into the water cooler these days? And are they planning to collect any possible rewards for the apprehension of dangerous felons? informing to DHS ( Department of Homeland Security) and their associated goon squads?

If this comes off a bit brusque, just think of what it implies – Have you ever unintentionally broken the law? I mean, ICE breaking down the door because of an unpaid parking ticket? WordPress, I thought better of you!

OK, I know that between layoffs, firings, and the departure of those with principles, many law enforcement agencies have become short-handed. But get a life, dude! Sub-contracting to the WordPress Prompt Central? This is truly desperate. You know that’s a real sicko hook-up.

Now I know that Prompt Central has a budget problem. That’s why old ones keep recycling endlessly; they can’t afford new ones. But a hook-up with the Feds? That’s just a tunnel to despair. Have you read any government documents? Written in “Federal Document English?” You’ll need the unedited, unexpurgated Oxford Dictionary to figure out the prompts.

Lucky for us, there are the Word of the Day Challenge, the Rag Tag Daily Prompt, Fandango’s One Word Challenge, and lots of others to keep things fresh. And remember, not a word about that weekend in Reno!

  1. You did not fall for it!! I think the more fun question would have been to ask if a person INTENTIONALLY broke a law? I have smoked weed and done mushrooms and drank gallons of alcohol well before it ever became legal for me. I have jaywalked a hundred times. I consistently set my cruise control above the speed limit. But unintentionally? I remember one frightening time when I was still new at driving and accidentally turned into a one way road and all the lanes of approaching cars were honking at me. Omigosh, that was scary. That’s the only one I can think of at the moment though…

    1. Reno? Getting away with five hundred in silver dollars, dancing on the stage, and leaving through the back way at dawn? wow! Were you there???? Far out!
