I cleared this with Edi first, so, here goes...
My wife, as part of our local business community, has volunteered to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. To wit, she has committed herself to raise $2400 dollars for MDA. The local police pick her up tomorrow, and if she makes bail - the $2400 dollars - she gets sprung early.
If you are already predisposed to donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, I ask only that you do so through this link. If so, thank you.

I have come to the conclusion that my subjective account of my motivation is largely mythical on almost all occasions. I don't know why I do things.

Uhm, what? Why is she being arrested to begin with?

It's a Fund Raiser type thing, I've seen it done before. The Police will "arrest" a person for X amount of time, unless the "Bail" (the amount they pledged to raise) is obtained. It's all done in good fun, and in the name of a good cause.
I'll see what I can dig up whackadoodle, and attempt to make a donation asap.

Sorry I didn't explain it well enough. It's what DarkSilver said. Also, the link I provided does a fairly good - if cheesy - job of explaining what's going on.Zod wrote:Uhm, what? Why is she being arrested to begin with?
