You know how data can be skewed.

Just because the numbers say one thing doesn’t mean all the variables have been taken into consideration.
For example, the recent, “If you saw ME in a police car what would you think I got arrested for?” poll may have provided some interesting insight to how people view me. However, the variables weren’t necessarily clearly reflected in the answers.

To make this poll legitimate, I’d need to ask a few more pertinent questions. Was the responder…
1) just being humorous
2) just trying to be as outrageous as possible
3) just trying not to offend or
4) did they really think I’d do that?

Arrested: Here are the results of my peers:

Car/Driver (5):
a. Causing road rage by screaming out your window for people to “zipper merge”.
b. not paying a ticket
c. speeding
d. your license hair color not matching your current hair color
e. I’d guess that your car broke down and you needed a ride home. * (also under Exposed.)

Assault (4)
a. gluing a coworker’s mouth closed because of continual unsanitary sneezing.
b. banging people’s head together because they have you asked to create a brand new presentation which will explain (in a different way) the same thing for the 10th time.
c. killing a “professional” acquaintance.
d. murdering a supposed “professional.”

Exposed (3):
a. I’d guess that your car broke down and you needed a ride home. Never would have crossed my mind that you were being arrested. Except for that flashing incident. Now if I had thought that you might have done that in front of the cop in order to get away with speeding and running red lights, then I might have thought you were arrested for good reason… but other than that, I would have figured that you just needed a ride home. And the cops would have to take you because of your history of stalking taxi drivers. Because your car broke down.
b. skinny dipping in a public pool
c. mopery – not sure what this means? Go ahead, look it up on Google.

Music (2)
a. listening to Barry Manilow and liking it!
b. I think you would get busted stealing music on the internet -- napstarish I guess

Strange, Sweet and Rather Random:
a. child abuse: refusing to hug your “adopted 16 year old nephew” because he hadn’t showered recently.
b. nothing, I would think you needed some help.
c. You were arrested for loving the LORD baby!
d. something involving mistaken identity, maybe you were standing next to a shoplifter
e. jewel thief? (green amethyst—lol)
