Man fools officers with car made of snow, gets fake parking ticket

I'd like to take a minute to relay a true story, so that you can say you know the guy who told you. Many winters ago, we went to visit a friend in Jersey City, one of those unofficial boroughs of NYC. It was a particularly bad winter for snow and Jersey City is a particularly bad city for parking, and we had to drive around and around and around the block. It has snowed let me see, I think a good 6 feet in a few weeks time, with the temperature below freezing for most of the time, and that's not normal at all for the NYC region. Finding a place to park was nearly impossible.

There were people parked on their front lawns, double-parked on the main ave, 45-degree angle parked on the corners, and cars parked on 45-degree angles up the side of snow banks. And then, and I shit you not (why would I lie about this), there was a car parked on top of another car. Yes. The car on the bottom was fully encased, entombed in a frozen sarcophagus of snow, from snowfall upon snowfall and snowplow upon snowplow. The only reason I even knew for sure that it was a car underneath was because you could unmistakabley see the side view mirror peeking out. The car on top, it was a Jeep, rode up a not-so-steep snowramp up the back and sat there, triumphantly, supported by the frozen block underneath it. Maybe this happens all the time in Canada or Buffalo, New York, but for us here, that was a sight to behold.
