Random Roommate Story
So, Paul and I live with three other girls. One of them is named Audra, and apparently she hung out with Paul's cousins in Bountiful back in the day. Anyway, Audra has a ne'er-do-well (she prefers "scandalous") brother. He is constantly coming up with new illegal activities to participate in, but he tends to be rather inept and not think his escapades through all the way. (For example, his way to avoid paying back his credit card debt was to move to China. Really.)Anyway, one day he was grossly speeding along I-15 and was stopped by the highway patrol. The cop ran his plates and he was arrested on an outstanding warrant for failing to pay for a ticket. He swore he had paid the ticket and when the cops investigated, it turned out to be a clerical error. As it happened, the city police's secretary had died and left behind quite a messy desk. That's only mildly funny at best. What's funny is that it took the cops some time to investigate. In the meantime, he was held in the Bingham County Jail. So he uses his one call to call home collect. Audra answers the phone and hears "This is the Bingham County Correctional Facility. You have a call from inmate _______. Will you accept the call?" Audra realizes that its her brother as soon as she hears the word "correctional" and begins to laugh, wondering what her idiot brother has been arrested for this time. In fact, she is laughing so hard at his misfortune that she cannot accept the call. That's right, he uses his one call and hears his little sister laughing and his call isn't accepted. The next call was also from the Bingham County Correctional Facility, only this time it was from inmate "Take the @#$@ call or I'll kill you!" This only provided Audra with further ammunition, pointing out in the most loving of manners that it is not wise to make threats, in jest or no, while incarcerated. It is also not wise to threaten the only person who might be willing to come bail you out. Anyway, I found this story to be pretty amusing, maybe you will too. If not, it's because you need to hear more stories about Audra's stupid brother or have no sense of humor.

So, is it safe to assume polygamy is back up and running? Hmmm...
Please, tell more stories of Audra's stupid (yet oddly hilarious) brother!
Polygamy is definitely NOT back. Brdiget and Audra are ex-roommies and best friends from Rick's and they have the second floor bedrooms. Li lives on the third floor by herself.
Audra's brother is hysterically funny, mainly I think because he thinks his plans are brilliant. Currently, he really is hiding out in China to avoid paying back his student loans and credit cards. I think is choice of China is funny because a)he speaks no Chinese and b)is a pasty white boy from Utah, yet he still thinks he can "blend in" with the crowd.
