I’m on the phone with City of Austin utilities to get my service transferred…”Okay Mr. Holmes, I’m going to put you on hold for just a moment, I’ll be right back.”  I hear a click, then the hold music comes on…some trilly strings, happy little bass line, then a man’s voice sings:

You’re up all night thinkin’ about that girl…and never once think about counting sheep.

The message is clear.

Oh, so it’s okay to pull one off while you’re chatting up the utility operator… but you try the same thing in the privacy of your own car, parked across the street from a high school sports field, and they send out jack-booted thugs to arrest you! Fascists.
