So, I was up to my earlobes in paperwork needing filed (darn those football tailgaters that can't park legally!) when the phone rings.
Towing Manager (TM) was too quick on the draw for me and got it first, so I was treated to just his half of the following conversation
-Friendly Neighborhood Towing, Towing Manager speaking
-Uh huh
-Uh huh
-Where?
-When?
-Yes Sir that vehicle was towed for not having a permit for that lot
-No Sir, it's Private Property
-No Sir, it's Private Property
-No, Private Property means it's the owner's perogative if they will have illegaly parked cars towed
-No, it's the property owner's decision
-No, property owner's decision
-No, you needed a permit
-Not without a permit, if you know you're going to be there, you need to call ahead and get one
-No, it doesn't work that way, if the owner of that property wants your vehicle removed they are allowed to do that under Borough Ordinance
-If you were there for an hour, that's 45 minutes longer than we have to wait before towing, Borough Ordinance says 15 minute minimum
-No, it's Private
-No, It's Private
-No, it's Private
-No, that's our job, and we can't tow unless the property owner wants us to, and they do, see what I'm saying? Now have a nice day. *click*
Me- SOmeone fuzzy on the concept of "Permit Parking Only"? Huh?
TM- Actually, he wasn't upset about that, he just felt he should get some kind of discount because he was just there to see his daugher and she's a cheerleader.
Me- Cheerleaders are above the law these days?
TM- I dunno, but he kept repeating himself, "My DAUGHTER IS A CHEERLEADER!! CAN'T YOU CUT ME A BREAK?!"
Me- Huh, never heard that one before....
(Office Lady now sticks head into door)
OL- Hey guys, I've got the University Police on line 1, they need a wrecker up by the chem lab for an illegaly parked car
Me- It doesn't belong to a cheerleader does it?
TM- Yeah, they're immune to towing
OL- *confused look* *leaves room*

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
