Senator Blather McHotair Proposes Making 'I'm Not Mad, I'm Just Disappointed' Official Punishment
The phrase would replace all fines for minor infractions like returning library books late.
Senator Blather McHotair has proposed legislation making 'I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed' the official punishment for minor offenses. 'Fines don't teach lessons. Guilt does,' McHotair explained. The bill would apply to late library books, minor speeding tickets, and forgetting anniversaries. Opponents call it 'psychologically cruel.' Supporters call it 'what our parents already used.' McHotair's own parents declined to comment but looked 'slightly disappointed.'
