Buds Best Years, Page 40

Sid had a whole itinerary drawn up for the group to do. So after their nap it was straight to the beach to build sand castles. And not just any sand castles these had to be big giant ones. So Sid made sure to buy plenty of buckets at the store located on right by the beach. And no one told him that building sand castles was illegal because of an incident that happened 2 years ago to the day.

A sand castle contest had been going on all day when suddenly 2 men who were building castles started shouting at each other then started hitting each other and suddenly a riot broke out and everyone on the beach was fighting and kicking each other. The computer city riot squad had to be called in order to quit the riot. There were numerous injuries and thankfully no fatalities.

The next week the computer city island city council past an statute making it illegal to build sand castles on any beach located on computer city island. Sid had heard nothing about this and there were no signs on the beaches saying no sand castle building allowed. So when a policemen came up to Sid saying that building a sand castle was illegal and he would have to take everyone one to jail. Sid thought it was all a practical joke. He knew this was not a joke when the cop called for backup and cuffed him and his family.

During the ride to the computer city island police station Sid could not help but, think how this trip had already gone horribly wrong. There were there a day an they were now in jail and having to post bail money. Only bail was denied since the judge thought that the would not take the law seriously. So they were stuck in jail until they could find a lawyer to plead their case. And finding a lawyer was not hard since Sid had a fried on the island who happened to be a lawyer and was willing to help them out. His name was Lawyer and he went straight to the courthouse to plead for the longIntegers release. And it worked.

The judge reluctantly agreed to the release on the condition that the defendants not set foot on the beach for the rest of their vacation. "Well I suppose the sand castle building is out. So what do we do now." The read of the things on your list dad." Bud said. "Yes, son you are right and so with his sons advice and a renewed energy Sid was ready to go. The next thing to do was go to a deli for lunch. Amy's deli on main street was the best in town so that was were Sid took everyone. It was shortly after noon when they arrived at the Amy's deli.
