And now for something completely different. I'm going to tell you all about the day I ate a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. It was a cold February. There were 80 centimeters of snow on the ground. There I sat stuck at home watching curling on TV. Curling and more curling. Men with brooms sweeping the ice. Women with brooms sweeping the ice. Children with brooms sweeping the ice. More, more I cried. As fate would have it, I realized I could record Curling on my VCR and watch it over and over and over again. Like a flash it hit me out of the blue. I could be eating a peanut butter and cheese ball sandwich. However, there were no cheese balls left and the weather was too severe. I had to compromise. We had pickles and anchovies in stock. I'll tell you right now that peanut butter and anchovies is out of the question. Peanut butter and pickles it had to be and that is what it was. So I was able to swill PBandP sandwiches and watch Curling to the point of numbness. It doesn't get any better than that.

To quote Monty Python "Its just a bloody parking offence". Sounds like a job for the Spanish Inquisition.
In the orientation they told us that in Michigan the judge chooses the punishment. The jury only gets to say not guilcup or guilty.

It refers to a Monty Python episode where the jury delivers its verdict by charades.
They signal a tea cup for the ty in guilty and the judge takes it as cup and pronounces the defendant not guilcup.
Then the judge sentences eric idle to be burned at the stake for a parking ticket and calls in the Spanish Inquistition.
Maybe I'm putting two episodes together in my mind.
