Message Board Presents The Lighter Side of the Law

After appearing nationally on Kurt the Cyberguy's Show and Kroq's Kevin and Bean Morning Show in August, the author of the new comedy book, Close Calls with the Cops Vol 1, opens The Lighter Side of the Law Message Board in response to the flood of emails from people wanting to share their own Close Calls" stories with author.

(PRWEB) Sept. 1, 2005 -- No matter how rich, poor, pretty or connected we are -- we have all had them," says author Michael Kenworthy. Getting pulled over, or simply thinking about being pulled over is something everyone can identify with. Whats amazing is the great lengths people will go to avoid one simple ticket, and that is what Close Calls with the Cops is about."

In addition to opening the message board, author Michael Kenworthy has launched a National Contest to find the best close calls" stories in the world. The winners will be based on wit, charm, sex appeal, pity, absurdity, and humor.

Close Calls With the Cops" is a real-life comedic collection of short stories from people across the country who have been pulled over, arrested, or otherwise detained and have gotten away. This self help" book for the modern man, provides numerous things one should probably never attempt to say to the police when they are pulled over, funny illustrations, jokes, top ten lists, famous quotes about the law, tips on how to fight traffic tickets, and more.

Kenworthy, has gone to great lengths to verify the authenticity of each story, but does not expect any one to believe all the stories. Some are just too far out, and too bizarre to believe," says Kenworthy. But who among us hasnt committed the occasional small time offense, like driving a little too fast, or having one too many cocktails at happy hour? And when we get caught, it is only natural to try to get away. Its a survival instinct. Maybe you tell a little white lie, or a big bold face lie, or maybe if you are feeling really lucky -- you have tried to tell the truth."

Close Calls With The Cops" is here to empower and to stimulate your imagination. Because just when you think you can hear the jail door slamming shut behind you, this self help" book is here to tell you that there is always a way to elude the heavy hand of the law.
