I got hit by a car.

I'd love to see one of each of those police guys at the same intersection .

I was relaying a story to Barry at a lunch break during a little ride we had yesterday ... I'll share it here ...

A couple of years ago, I was trying to figure out what the h3ll was the "truth" about the difference between blue "A" plates and yellow "A" plates. People had been telling me that <50cc bikes required a blue plate, whereas 50cc (and more) required a yellow plate. Others were saying the cutoff was 100cc ... others had different stories. There is so much gossip that flies around the all-knowing expat community, I thought I'd ask the all-knowing-police at the Traffic Management Bureau (the place that issues these things for motorcycles). They should know, right?

I went to the counter, asked the all-knowing-policeman a simple question - got a simple answer ... which was then immediately contradicted by another all-knowing-policeman. The two policemen started to argue, then a third policeman came into the fray with a third story.

So, I was standing there, dumbfounded, and finally walked away totally confused. I turned around as I was leaving the building and the three were still arguing.

The "rule" is, I guess, it depends on who is on the counter that day.
