"You know what bureaucrats at North Las Vegas city hall do to me a few months ago? They say that Bruce Lee owes two hundred and thirty eight dollars because my house is not set back from curve far enough. The house is forty year old. What I do? Put house on big jack and push it back more." My landlord is a China man named Bruce Lee (I kid you not that is his real name). Any way, he was in the midst of telling me a story about a Las Vegas shakedown..
"I go in and see judge and he say - 'Bruce Lee, we not charge you for the zoning violation. Everything is good on that. But we charge you two hundred thirty eight dollar for paperwork.' That's what judge tell me." I was confused about what he said so I ask him to clarify the statement - "That's right," he says to me, "No violation at all. Bruce Lee innocent, but they charge me two hundred and thirty eight dollars and call it paperwork fee. I not understand at first. I do nothing wrong. Then I hear they charge everyone two thirty eight and fuck them too."
