A life well lived should include at least one or 2 nights in jail.
One night in San Jose Ca. city jail for traffic warrant, I had been drinking at told them to f#ck off, so a night in the slammer! (8 year old parking ticket in Santa Cruz, lol)
One night in lausanne switzerland for drunk and vagrancy. I spent all my money at the bar and didnt have the 5 swiss francs minimum to prove I wasnt a vagrant (its a law there), Lol.
They let me out the next morning after I had coffee and croissant. No fine, I love that place!
Spent 3 weeks in The heathrow airport Customs detention for not having enough money to enter the country (there is no minimum...), I had $100 that would easily have taken me to a friends house in france, but it wasnt enough I guess.
I had to wait for my buddy to get back from vacation in france to vouch for me and pick me up.
No fines or penalties, just a weird, boring stay at the airport holding facility.
It was fairly nice and they provided 3 meals and tea in the afternoon with TV to watch.
Arrested on the street for 2 hours in Bangkok Thailand for throwing a cigarette butt into the gutter downtown (littering charge).
They didnt take me to jail, although I loudly and vociferously insisted they should. Obviously i had been drinking yet again...klong tipp whiskey.
I finally got bored with them and was a bit hungry. I offered to buy them all lunch (there were 7 cops sitting under an easy-up) in lieu of any jail time or fines.
They agreed that this would be punishment enough, so we had a pretty nice lunch that I paid for.
It was $10 for the lunch and $10 for 6 big bottles of Kloster Beer.
We had a great time!
Fun, weird times...
