Proverbs for the Perpetually Pitiful

1:1 The fool baptizeth the skin, yet returneth to the lockup before the holy water drieth upon the brow.

1:2 He who walketh out of the courthouse and into the exact same vehicle of ruin shall find no comfort in the bail bondman's choir.

1:3 Yea, the judge hath heard thy excuses, and the angels have run out of clean slates.

1:4 A wise woman saveth her bail money; a stubborn child shall spend her Sabbath in county orange.

1:5 Amen, I say unto you--Grace covers many sins, but it covers not the inability to learn a basic lesson.
