Actually I did ask him how much it was but he declined to say and wasn't really mad at me at all. This was more like a Homer Simpson "DOH" to both of us.
He only got a ticket, I damned near got myself killed and my van went out into a busy, one lane each way street.
Mustafa is so broken up about this. His life is over. I mean, how horrible is it to get a ticket? I agree, with all the murder and rape and war going on, humans should be concerned about a mere traffic violation.
Regarding your repeated used of the word 'contrarian':
Regarding Mustafa's ticket for answering his phone:
The correct answer is, 'Of course I didn't offer to pay his ticket. Why should I? All I did was place the call - he was under no obligation to answer. He's my friend and I think well of him, but if he's old enough to drive, he's old enough to be aware of the rules. He could have pulled over to answer or could have let it go to voice mail. I'm sorry he got a ticket, but it's his responsibility, not mine.'
Glad to be of help.
Boru
Are you a Captain Morgan fan, or should I ask "CAPTAIN OBVIOUS".
Others in this thread got what I was saying. No shit Sherlock.
