I too am a rule follower (the type who follows one-way arrows in an empty parking lot at midnight), so this really resonated for me; my heart was pounding just reading this! Have you ever read any of Alexander McCall Smith's Sunday Philosophy Club series? Isabel Dalhousie, the protagonist of these books, is the editor of the academic Journal of Applied Ethics and the sort of person who can't cross the street without turning it into an ethical dilemma. These books make me laugh out loud, and I think you might enjoy them too (while you are recuperating from the injuries sustained in your life of crime). -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-26561093201514380432011-11-20T18:12:48.462-05:002011-11-20T18:12:48.462-05:00Hilarious.

She would take cuttings from anywhere, brazenly carrying a shovel in the back of her car at all times, ready to jump out and dig up plants out of ditches that caught her eye.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-35485422712220406662011-11-19T20:17:14.770-05:002011-11-19T20:17:14.770-05:00So funny!!!

Ok, I know it's not supposed to be funny, but I only follow rules when I absolutely have to, so I am also feeling inspired to follow a rule just so I can break it. :o)Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-72718015583165607372011-11-16T23:02:44.731-05:002011-11-16T23:02:44.731-05:00:) I'd like to say I get this way because my m...:) I'd like to say I get this way because my moral code is so strict, but honestly, its this weird quirk I have... I can not deal with the consequences of getting caught in any minorly ethically questionable situation. The one ticket I ever got in my whole life was for an illegal u-turn and I was seconds from crying when the cop came up. He felt so bad and kept apologizing to me and telling me it was really okay, it was just a ticket!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524574998937986323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-39445157658423430702011-11-16T20:20:03.036-05:002011-11-16T20:20:03.036-05:00It would have been bad to dig the rose up, not tak...It would have been bad to dig the rose up, not take a cutting.

Jess, you will never make a good career criminal. You had to go back to get your pruners, but forgot your gardening gloves? Such a fitting punishment to be stabbed until bleeding! ;) I do hope, now that the 'deed' is done, that your rose cutting takes root. But every time you see your new rose, you will remember its sordid past. I'm a mother - can you tell? Have I made you feel guilty enough yet? If so, then my work here is done!

It was amusing that the rose exacted its own justice on you though, but I hope your thumb has recovered.
