In Virginia
Beach, Va. 23 year old Dominyk Antonio Alfonseca was arrested because he handed
a bank teller a note asking for $150,000 and added, "Please" with a
smiley face.
His defense
is that with the word "Please" it was not a demand. It was a request.
I
immediately thought of something I did, or didn't do:
One time in
the time keepers' office of the Atlanta Post Office a supervisor asked me to "Please " to something,
which I forgot what it was. Because some
other people were not gainfully employed at the moment and I thought he should
have chosen them for the chore I kept doing my other work and the next day when he found out the job wasn't
done he called me into his office and told me he was going to write me up for
refusing to obey a direct order.
My defense was that I was the only person doing
something at the time so he should have picked one of the others, and I said,
"besides, when he said "Please" it became a quest not an order.
I wasn't
punished. It was swept under the rug.
