@czc - dont worry my boss does this with pencil on a daily basis! (I hide all pens near my desk ;P)

BTW Who stole my magic wand?!?!?!?!

I need it to klap some sense into the idiots in the back. They called me now cos there is a paper jam in our A0 photocopier. They keep telling me they removed the paper - OBVIOUSLY NOT since there is still a paper jam! I got the offending piece of paper out and just walked out.

Well our photocopier is jammed as well. I remove the jammed paper and then it tries to continue and jams up again. No matter how many times I remove all jamming paper that is causing the problem. Yeah its an old one that needs replacing but our boss doesn't see a need for it.

I do vaguely recall laying lines across the road (electric cable works fine) when I was still in high-school - cars suddenly slowing down when not expecting speed-traps was epic - the trick being to lay them in places other than where the coppers usually put them down.

I suppose these days you'd grab a mate with a Venture, and site there with something vaguely camera-looking on a tripod :p Although explaining yourself to any cops that happened by would be a pain of sorts :D

All you do then is... RUN AWAY!

They're to focused on their stomach in, chest out posture to worry about chasing you... ROFL

Hell yes. Our principal in primary school did the same thing. I went to a little farm primary school next to a busy type of "highway" that went between Harties and Krugersdorp. One day a kid got hit and when we tried to implement a traffic light system, the municipality did not want to help us. So the principal got his hands on some "spietkop-rek" and laid it on the road. It worked for a while, until drivers knew it was a hoax...

Then came the real epic part...he hired a homeless guy to dress in brown and chill on a camping chair behind a bush, making sure that he was subtly visible (no one could tune him he was impersonating a police office, er, I mean traffis). Cars slowed down instantaneously when they caught a glimpse of him, thinking that he was a speed cop.

Haha yeah I suppose.
I saw quite a brilliant response to a situation where somebody was about to get a ticket from a traffic cop at Cavendish Shopping Centre in CT.
Outside McD's there is a drop off only bay that is strictly monitored by traffic cops on foot. The guy parks his car to go to the opposite FNB bank and gets out and starts walking across the road to the bank. Next thing the cop starts calling him back to issue a fine. This guy turns around, takes out his camera and takes a snap shot of the shopping centre and tells the cop no he just wanted to get a shot of the mall. Climbs back in his car and goes to go park in the mall parking area.
I saw the whole thing and just started laughing. The cop was left there kinda stunned and didn't know what to say. He actually looked embarresed at being fooled by this dude.
