Random Wordplay for Wednesday 11/23/16

Beware the Barnacle!

Used in a sentence:  "Those of you who refuse to pay your parking tickets need to beware the barnacle, 'cause it might just be showing up on your windshield next."

Boot no more ... this super-suction cup concept that obstructs your windshield until you pay your fines, after which the cups release via a wifi signal and you have to take it back to the cops (or risk another bigger fine I assume) just wrapped up testing here in the FTL and, coincidentally, also back (near) home in Allentown PA.

Easier for everyone than those awkward clunky heavy boots, it's "the future" of rendering scofflaw vehicles inoperable.  And don't worry -- if you choose to just drive away doggie style (as in your head out the window), it's also illegal to drive with such an obstructed view, so you'd just be making a bad situation worse.

In other words ... pay your damn fines people ... or you'll be barnacled!
