21. Slightly off the subject, but have you noticed this?

Every time a rich person's kid gets arrested or killed doing something either illegal, stupid or both (and snorting cheese falls into both categories), they always hit you over the head about what a wonderful kid he was?

It's always

"Joe Jones, an 18-year-old member of the National Honor Society who worked three jobs to buy toys for the kids in the hospital, loved kittens and read the newspaper to senior citizens in the hospital"

and never

"Joe Jones, a 17-year-old father of six who sold crack at the corner of Main and Fourth to finance his marijuana plantation."
