And people think society is worth saving

Two construction workers were walking behind me part of my way to work. I couldn't help overhearing their conversation:

Worker 1: So, you goin' to jail on us again?

Worker 2: Naw, this is the ticket they gave me last time.

W1: Uh-huh

W2: Yeah... When the cop pulled me over, he was actually real nice. See, my mudflap had come off, and.. well, the truck's got 44 inch tires.

W1: (incredulous) Uh-huh. (knowingly) Spraying shit everywhere, right?

W2: Yeah. So anyway, he got me for driving on a suspended [license]. (pause) I've gotten 21 3rd degree driving on a suspended [license]. But, you know, I gotta drive. I tried getting an occupational license, all that shit, but no.

At this point, my brain exploded a little bit and I lost the thread of the conversation. By the time I tuned in again, #2 was saying something about "different jurisdictions," which I'm guessing indicated that the reason he hasn't been drawn and quartered yet is that he caught his infractions in a variety of locations.

And I'm supposed to feel at all safe on the road. Right.
