But, what if I'm made of evil, evil jelly on the inside?

So, I got pulled over for the first time ever while walking home from class today.  Crossing without a walk signal.  Car put its flashing lights on, but no sirens.  (I was disappointed.)  This raises two questions:  is this a moving violation?  and, more importantly, do the cops here have a rule against smiling while on the job?  (I'm cute!  I'm

That's one thing I've noticed about the midwest. They have far too much respect for authority (or at least pointless rules).

Are you actually made of evil, evil jelly? Or is it something more subtle and insidious?

Both.

So if you are made of evil, evil jelly (grape!) then how do you manage to be cute and friendly at the same time? Doesn't the evilness of the jelly (grape!) counteract the cuteness and friendliness?

Evil often has the ability to disguise itself well.
