"He was driving his Jaguar and got a speeding ticket on the way."

When I started my practice, we signed a 5-year lease in a downtown office building next to the convention center.  In about two years, the convention center started a renovation/expansion project.  It was daytime construction, nighttime theater or symphony.   Meaning there was hardly any public parking in the vicinity.  So, instead of them late-filing penalties, we had to constantly warn our clients about "don't even think about parking on the street", as it was red zone all over and the meter maids worked very hard.

One of our older clients claimed she always got lucky.  She must have visited our office over ten times in those few years.  Zero ticket for ten+.  I would look outside the window, and there it was, her old silver Mercedes parked right next to the red curb.  No ticket....  We moved as soon as the lease was up.  Shortly after that, the sweet, lucky, ticket-free lady passed away.  How I miss her every tax season.  Or every time I get a parking ticket. 


I come here for kudos and IRonMaN's jokes.
