And think of all those poor colonists who didn't agree with the people who held the Boston Tea Party. They were deprived of their favorite drink by the actions of these reprobates!

People quickly forget civil disobedience's place and it requires such "inconveniences"...

As I recall the original story was that he received a ticket and came in to pay the fine in pennies but I forget what city this occurred in.

Default Legal Tender

The government cannot refuse legal tender.

I got a ticket some yrs ago and went to county seat to pay and they wouldn't take a check and was told it had to be exact amount in cash. I thought about doing the same thing. Good for him if he wanted to go to the trouble to do all this.

How is this the responsibility of the clerk who had to deal with this guy?

I understand the frustration with the DMV, and while this is funny, this idiot impacted the other 100+ people waiting in line more than the DMV staff who get paid the same amount of money to service 1 person in 3 hours than 15+ people. If I was waiting behind this guy in line I would be pissed....

Just like those colonists who were pissed about not getting their tea I suspect. Listen protest takes disruption and inconveniences people. That's how it works.

If the DMV had any brains whatsoever they would have simply taken him aside and serviced him there, allowing the rest of the customers to proceed. It's not that hard really and it's what any normal business would do. My guess is they, in an opposite defiant protest, made everybody else wait but I admittedly was not there so that's just a gues.

Defaria, it was a joke. I am sorry you didn't get it. But I do appreciate all your accolades.

Last year I won a $5 bet with my neighbor on a football game and he proceeded to pay me off by leaving a baggie full of 500 loose pennies on my front porch.

I promptly took the bag and heaved it over into his driveway kitty-corner across the street, unannounced, and walked away without saying a word. All while he was in his garage drying off his Z06. That was my way of telling him what he could do with his 500 F^&(*ing pennies

We haven't spoken to each other since.

Did the bag of pennies explode on impact? That would be great!
In high school, I beat a friend of mine in poker and he owed me $15. He didn't have it. I said, just give me that jar of change. I didn't mind rolling the quarters, etc once I figured out that I had about $100.
