That's because they have nothing better to do.

In retrospect, taking a nine iron to his very tiny little symbol of what limited authority he has was a bad idea.

*laughs*

Rough day, Lex?

My old friend Meter Maid Rick had my Porsche towed.

Doesn't sound like much of a friend to me.

He apparently holds a grudge.

It was a pretty memorable incident.

Everyone has their bad days. Mine just sometimes involve clubs. But I wasn't even illegally parked this time and he had me towed!

And if you were one of the little people and you saw a chance to get back at the famous billionaire who embarrassed you years ago you wouldn't take it?

Clark, that's a very insensitive thing to say. They aren't 'little people'. I think they prefer to be called 'serfs' nowadays. You shouldn't belittle Officer Rick's people.

You could be right, but then I'm just a simple farmer, so what do I know.

You're leading the uprising aren't you, Clark?

And draw undue attention to myself? Not likely.

Et tu, Brutus?

Not if I can help it.

Oh, Lex. I'm not sure whether to send over Chinese or offer to let you borrow my Mini Coop.

...a Mini Cooper?

You want me to drive a car that you found inside of a Cracker Jacks box?

It was a very expensive box of Cracker Jacks.

Thank you, Patricia but I'll have to make due with one of my other cars until the Porsche can be retrieved.

... All of which are registered down at the DMV under your name or the business, and easily accessible by meter maids. Or Merry Men, take your pick.

They'd probably be less recognizable if they weren't all plated with some variation of 'Lex' and 'Luthor'.

That is exactly my point. But if you drive around in a car with a 'Swann' plate, then people might not recognize you so easily.

Never underestimate the aggrieved nature of the civil servant.

Excellent advice. I had thought the passage of 3 years would alleviate his anger. My mistake.

That is the beauty of their job security. They do seem to have time on thier side.

Oh ouch. Let's just hope you've got the money to sweeten them back up.

Luckily, I don't see that being a problem.

ooc: ROTFL!

My mom got her car towed recently and dad was not happy. But he says that's why he uses the 'copter to get to big business meetings, because those things aren't so easy to tow. I'd kinda like to see a meter maid try, actually.

...I think that's an excellent idea. In fact it may be the best I've heard today. I appreciate it.

Well, it was either that idea, or me lending you my sister's car. But that was probably bad because a) it's my sister's car and 2) it's bright pink.
