Holy Crap! I almost went to jail! Well no, not really, but I got involved in something that landed somebody else in jail.

We were told that the asshole goes on everyday at the same time so we’re sure to get him. People from Australia, England, New Zealand, Germany have promised to join the prank. Since I had
