I just had this really vivid image of guys selling Cokes with mice in the cans, getting off Scot-free via the Presidential pardon process.

Hey, buddy, wanna buy a sixer of Coke really cheap?!


That's an interesting expression, isn't it, "Scot-free"? From what I can find, it has it's roots in taxation. Sceot was a tax and getting off scot (sceot) free meant "tax free".
