Re: Permits for tripods (Was: Santa Barbara Soap)

I had my #8 Cirkut on some New York City property near the Brooklyn Bridge,
and was given a bit of a hard time over a permit by some city
semi-policeman.  Fortuneately he kept mentioning that it was near lunchtime
and how hungry he was.  So I took the hint and paid for lunch.  End of
problem.  In New York the palm always faces the sky and it's cheaper to
cross it with green than to get a permit.  Besides I'd rather give the
bucks to the city worker than to the thieving politicians.
