for every rule, there's always a legitimate way to break it!!  the fun is finding what will work.... not that we exercise that.... we just play with it....

I will break "stupid" all day long. When others are asking me to do something that is unlawful ... I won't just because some unknowing dumb arse tells me so.

I have been breaking rules since age 5. Some I knew but the majority fall under...I know not what I do and I do it because I can dynamics. Today, common sense plus agreed to commitment prevails.

Yes, I've had the 'urge' but, I'm someone who has never even had a speeding ticket - so, I'm probably not the person to ask!  I'm over-the-top rule-abiding!

Like you say in the blog, you have to know the rules before making an educated decision to break them.

I can think of a few examples but won't be sharing! ;)
