Today, Michael Jackson died. FML

Today, I was on my way home when I saw a cop hiding behind a Budget truck. I immediately slowed down and prayed that he wouldn’t give me a ticket. Then I realized I was walking. FML

Today, I had to go to the police station to pick up my 42 year old dad. Why? He was caught stealing candy. FML
