Streaming Mad: $206 in urine-soaked coins is not acceptable payment for a speeding ticket in Washington
Michael Harold Lynch was ticketed for doing 54 mph in a 35 mph area that was also a construction zone. The fine was $206. Lynch decided to let his anger flow by placing $206 in a plastic bag, peeing in the bag and sending it in. Upon receiving Lynch's little care package, the courthouse staff gave it to a police officer and declined to accept the pungent payment to clear the ticket. Turns out Lynch didn't break any laws – it's not necessarily illegal to mail bodily fluids. The pee-and-pennies were sent back to Lynch – COD, in fact – with a note that said they couldn't be taken because "the pile of coins emitted a strong, pungent odor of stale urine." Lynch responded by sending a check made out to another agency, which was returned, then he sent a check for the wrong amount. Now he's on the hook for $271 because his payment is late. We wonder what he has in store for

Or write another check out and wipe his ass with it before giving it to them...

So Im supposed to feel bad for a guy who was 1) speeding, 2) in a construction zone, 3) decided to be a jackass and send coins that he pissed on, 4) mailed a check made out to the wrong people, 5) then sent the wrong amount, 6) is now on the hook for late payment?
Sorry, Im a firm believer in 3 strikes and you're out! I think he should have drivers licence revoked just for being too stupid to know how to write. We give the keys and the privilage to drive something that has the possibility of killing someone and the guy cant even write a check correctly? You would think after the first check mistake he would double, maybe even triple check his work...
No I laugh at his stupidity.

I laugh at you for not realizing that he's miswriting checks on purpose to mess with them and thinking this article was written for us to have pity on him. Its for entertainment purposes only. lol

No you're not suppose to feel bad for him, unless that alleviates you. This story was posted so we can pour on the urinating puns, don't feel pissed.

typical. gets caught breaking the speed law, but doesn't like the fine associated. man up! either don't speed OR don't complain when caught. simple formula.

which brand of plastic bags were used to contain the urine? assuming it didn't leak, it would be a great marketing coup! if it can hold your urine safe, i'm sure it'll do just fine with leftovers :-)

Typical of a Washingtonian. Yesterday there was a report of a 50-year old who has been shooting at toll boths at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge with a wrist rocket because he doesn't like tolls.
Nobody here thinks they should have to pay for anything, but they want everything done for them.
