Just My Luck!

So the other night, Tiffany and I are on the way home at about 12:15 am, just a few blocks from the house mind you...Sitting at a red light, when I look in the rear view mirror and see a patrol car right behind me. I told Tiffany here we go, we are about to be pulled over, the light changes and BAM, he turns on his lights and directs me to pull over. I pull over and he tells me I cut across to many lanes, I did have my signal on, he says but you cut across all 5 lanes and you can't do that, well I learned how to drive in NY and I was taught if you signal you can go over as many as you want if its safe to do so, guess it is different here in Colorado! Anyway he was very nice about it and asked for my license, registration and proof of insurance, I asked if I could get out of the car to get it, he said fine, when I did I had no idea that there were 6 other Police Cars all with their light on behind us, you would think we were just busted for robbing a bank or something big, I took out all my stuff and at that time realized I never put my new insurance card in my wallet, he says well I give everyone a ticket who doesn't have proof of insurance, but if I do have one at home, I can simply take it to the court and it will be dismissed. So today I went to the court, took the first space I saw and went into City Hall, as I was waiting in line for the Court Clerk, some guys walks up to me and says, " How are you today, are you being helped" I replied I am waiting for the clerk , he says " Oh , OK, have a nice day" and walks away...The lady in front of me says to me, " The Mayor is so nice, isn't he" , I had no idea that was the Mayor, but he was nice. After a few more minutes, I am next the clerk makes me swear that I did have insurance when I got the ticket and then stamps my ticket DISMISSED, I said that's it? She says , yep your all done! I was kinda siked it was that easy and said thanks so much, have a great day.... Then I go outside and get in my car , there is a piece of paper on the windshield.... ITS A PARKING TICKET!!!, Apparently, the first space I took that I parked in was the Mayor's spot! .... I never saw the dam sign:(
