Creativity Arrested

So it was a normal night...until I almost got arrested thanks to ENGR 407.


The idea was simple. Play beer pong for 1 dollar and win 2 dollars if you made it in the cup.
Our goal was to prey upon the drunken populace of state collge. Whether or not they were of age or not we were to make money off of them.

We made 1 dollar before the shit hit the fan.

I dressed up as Jack Sparrow....a popular Halloween costume from this year in order to promote our little game of chance. It took 10 minutes and 1 dollar before we were apprehended.

The Police:

One police officer...probably high off his power trip walked up to myself and my partner and announced...almost as loud as I was announcing our game..... that we were "soliciting illegally without a permit". That was fast huh?

He tried to bust us for solicitation and when we brought to his attention that it was for a class he mentioned the fact that our sign said "beer pong for cash". I ensured the police officer that it was not actual beer, in fact it was snow in the cup which is not very intoxicating at all.

At this point he threatened us with"False advertising" as our sign said "beer pong for cash" and according to him since there is no beer involved we are advertising falsely......right.

Anyway friends learn from this mistake:

Don't solicit without a permit downtown as the cops are relentless when they are bored. Seeing as a permit costs upwards of 200 dollars the team will no longer be attempting this act downtown.

Come on creativity.....I need a winner now!
