*** begin quote ***

Three sourpuss Parks Department agents put the squeeze on a 10-year-old girl in Riverside Park yesterday, slapping the tyke with a $50 ticket for hawking lemonade without a permit.

Sorry, but where did the bureaucrat get off “voiding” the ticket? And, what about Federal charges for practicing chemistry without a license.

The City (an imaginary entity) needs the fifty bucks.

Yeah, it’s absurd. But then, gooferment is absurd.
