My friends uncle said to us when we were teens “boys, I know boys like to do stupid things. Just make sure you don’t hurt anyone and only break the law if it’s really funny so the judge will laugh and go easy on you.”
Another one I heard recently that I like: “If you ain’t having fun building it your users ain’t gonna have fun using it.”

The judge read the arresting officer's description of the event, making sure to clarify all the really dumb/embarrassing stuff he did. Everyone in the courtroom laughed at my friend (including the judge), and he ended up just having to pay a fine + court fees.
- I_Byte 6y agoIf you don’t mind, could you explain what happened?
- dfee 6y agoThat’s about it. This is a “you must’ve been there to believe it”. Enjoy the anecdote and move on.
- I_Byte 6y agoI did enjoy the anecdote. If the original commenter is comfortable sharing the story I would also enjoy reading that as well.
- strictnein 6y agoWithout going into full details: You shouldn't poop in the road at 1am and then stop cars by standing naked in the street about a mile from the police station. The fun time ended when the next car he stopped was a police car.
- pattusk 6y ago"Only break the law if it’s really funny so the judge will laugh and go easy on you.” This only works if you are white and relatively affluent looking. Taking the example of the outdoor pooping posted before, this would get you indecent exposure charges and a trip to the sex offender registry. And you better pray that none of the cars that passed by had a minor in them.
- breck 6y agoIt’s a joke. I don’t think this would work.
