I, myself, have never had to invoke my Fifth Amendment Right against self-incrimination because I have never broken the law.
Speaking of which we-- Caroline & Mr. Bow Tie, Kat & Tony, The Librarian, Mr. Big Food & I-- went to see a picture show this evening! Neither Mr. Big Food nor I have been to a picture show theater in a long time. I wasn't sure what to expect regarding No. 2.
After we'd gotten out tickets, we-- everyone except Mr. Bow Tie-- loitered around the entrance awaiting Mr. Bow Tie's arrival. While I loitered, I carefully read every single sign and paid particular attention to The Rules.
I pulled up my pants. I took off my hat. I turned off my cell phone.* |
It was a thoroughly enjoyable show. No one messed it up by yelling "Fire!"
*Tony did have on a questionable T-Shirt. It said, "Freedom." No one at the theater in Starkvegas found No. 1 offensive so he was able to just stroll in, too.
What an awesome movie!! Glad we went to see it!
