by the flicking of a finger....

its wearer. It is said that, according to his powers, the wearer can
perform impossible deeds, control all creatures to his bidding, vanquish
invincible armies, converse with fish and fowl, bend steel in his bare
hands, leap tall parapets at a single bound, win friends and influence
people, fix parking tickets---"

lwvanels (Lucien W. Van Elsen):
In Norcross, Georgia, law enforcement has a new slogan: "Read a book, go to
jail." Well, they aren't really saying that, but it did happen to Karen
Lindsay. Police stormed into her apartment late on Friday night and hauled her
off to jail, charging her with failing to return books to the public library
and ignoring a summons to appear in court on the matter. She was freed on bail
after spending the night in jail. Lindsay says that she returned the books
and never received the summons. The local prosecutor later admitted that the
summons had never been delivered to Lindsay. his office had put the wrong
address on the envelope.
