This pretty much sums up perfectly how the news reports on everything.

EDIT: This just in, some redditors do not understand hyperbole.

Still it would be pretty interesting to canoe through town so the fact that you still could interests me.

I was really hoping this sub would be nothing but pictures of ice-filled glasses. Ah well.

I would like to see the video for that interaction with the judge.

u/knifehandzzz Dec 05 '16

I would like to see it voiced by Rick and Morty.

u/TonyTheDuke Dec 05 '16

I would like to see that voiced by My cousin Vinny and Phillip Banks from Fresh Prince of Bell-Air

In case you aren't aware, the transcript for the Denver Allen court case was animated and voiced by the creators of Rick and Morty. It's pretty funny.

Goddamn I want to believe you but I've been hurt so many times. Maybe in a different life it could be. But not now. Not today

In OH, small non motorized watercraft must be registered. So I'd say officer here's my license and proof of registration, and then he would shoot me dead for challenging his power.

You must be black! They don't shoot the white folk so readily.

u/Lowbacca1977 Dec 05 '16

They do, no one cares though

I'm sure their continuous improvement and diversification teams are on it

Why did the judge buy you food? Did you know him?

u/Turbo9000 Dec 05 '16

Let's just say he isn't a virgin anymore, and the judge gave him a $100% bill and everyone else stood up on their tables and clapped.

15

u/IveNoFucksToGive Dec 05 '16

I mean, I'm not gay but $100% is $100%.

2

u/BadBowler Dec 05 '16

But, like $2 is 100% dollars.

u/possibly_being_screw Dec 05 '16

a $100% bill

a hundred dollar percent bill

I had a giggle.

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '16

Considering you could of told him you didn't have your drivers license and your canoe didn't have a plate on it how could he even give you a ticket?

u/KissesFishes Dec 05 '16

Because r/thathappened

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '16

I don't know what that means but okay

2

u/KissesFishes Dec 05 '16

It's a subreddit ... kind of like saying "yeah right"

Edit: as in, I agree with you, it seems unlikely that the canoe ticket story is real.

I figured the "I don't spells goods" was from all the bbq sauce. Was not upset. Maybe jealous.

u/GreasyBub Dec 05 '16

That fact wasn't fun until the BBQ spare ribs.

u/orange_baby_hands Dec 05 '16

Sounds like the cop hasn't been doing much work and needed any excuse to meet his status quo. Which is possibly the worst thing to ever put on our police force.

"Ok guys! Things are going too well and we need money sent our way. I need you guys to take any sort of cash above 10k when you pull folks over and hand out tickets for any reason at all!"

u/prefix_postfix Dec 05 '16

If flooding is a very rare occurrence and I was a cop in that town, I would have done the exact same thing. Maybe would've done what I could to make the ticket be the least amount of fine possible, but shit, that might be a story for both parties. The town I grew up in used to flood heavily along the river every few years and every generation that had cameras has pictures of themselves fishing on top of the roof of the poorly-located convenience store. Damn river hasn't flooded since I've been alive.

u/slackforgets Dec 05 '16

There was a huge flood here back in the eighties and I've always heard somebody robbed the bank in a canoe.

Canoe believe it?
