My friend just got an e-mail today from his college. Words can't describe the funny.

Dear Mathew S. (P 53848):

You owe $1. in fines to the Library for materials returned later than the due date. 
Failure to pay the fine by August 7, 2007 will result in you not receiving your diploma from RCC.

He should pay it back... in pennies.  We did that once for a bill we got from the university for something like $0.45 overdue on something.  It ranked right up with our machinist framing his $0.02 check he received from the university that cost them more to process than it did for the value of the check itself.

Pay one penny an hour and ask for a receipt with your outstanding balance each time.

My father was a commercial fisherman in Alaska when the Exxon Valdez spilled it's guts... I think it was 2 years ago when all the court cases ended (the spill was in 1989), and he got a check for $0.00.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I am now picturing a crazy bearded, long haired guy on a Harley chasing around Nix's friend yelling "I want my one dollar!"

Seriously though, its a Library fine, they are supposed to be small and trivial. Tell him to go pay it.

Not to mention I didn't say he wasn't going to pay it. Christ you people really do have something up your ass. Possibly Bruce. My point was that it's funny how they're threatening his $40,000 education over a $1. Obviously he's going to pay it, just funny how greedy they really can be.

No.  It isn't.

So many people seem to think that principle slides with amount.  It doesn't.


And Greedy ??  Fucker worked up a fine.  They want him to pay it.  Where's the greed ?

Also, I got that it was your friend.  Had it been you in person, I would have been kinder.  I'd have said pay up...you douchebag.

Yeah, I went to the store the other day to pick up some groceries. When I was going through the checkout line they actually expected me to give them money for all the shit I had picked up.

Funny how greedy they really can be.

I thought about this a bit. He shouldn't pay. He should show them.

Request to pay back your fine in 10 minutes of shelving books at the minimum hourly wage!
