Would you go out with someone who had been to prison?

This'll make ya laugh. Years ago, I borrowed a Honda 50 from a mate to go down to the shops with. I got stopped by a guard and asked about licence,tax and insurance. I had none of these, just my youthful good looks and sunny outlook on life, which counted for nothing. What didn't help is that the brakes weren't great, and I kinda drove over his foot a bit.. Well he did stand there like an eejit with his arm out motioning me to stop while he could see me furiously pulling on a bit of twine attached to the rear brake.
This wasn't why I went to prison though.
I heard no more from the guards until one day two of them came to my rented house to question me about my neighbours, who had a fairly dodgy reputation, petty thievery mostly, so I'd heard, which I didn't care about, I just paid them rent.
They kept asking me questions about them which I couldn't answer, told me they'd drop the bike charges if I talked, and when I still had no information I could see them becoming convinced I was just a liar, and they told me so, also that I was only a 'fuckin alien'.
I'm Dutch ya see.
Anyways, they left fairly p!ssed off, and next day I got a summons to go to court on a motoring charge, nearly six months after the event. In court, the judge called it 'joyriding' (:D:D:D) because, not wanting to get my mate in trouble for having no insurance and lending me the bike I had said I took the bike without his consent, said 'Would you do this in your own country?' , I thought it irrelevant and said 'Well actually, back home they would've given me an on the spot fine and sent me on my way, they don't believe in wasting court time', and I got sentenced to a month in Mountjoy. Slightly harsh.
On top of this, our local rag had a half page on it with the headline 'Dutchman stole bike'.
I did two weeks in Mountjoy and one in the 'training unit'.
It's an experience.;)
So no, I didn't kill anyone, but apparently I'd be a terrible prospect for some people. These are the breaks. ..
