The fine print on the Parking Tickets:

"Note: Failure to pay within the time stipulated may result in your being prosecuted before court for the offence"

"your being"...

You got all that from wording on a parking ticket? what about sleeping pills with the "may cause drowsiness" on them...

You sure it wasn't just a typo? I.e.

"Failure to pay within the time stipulated may result in you being prosecuted before court for the offence"

What I'm saying is, the person who printed the ticket could have made a typo before the ticket was printed. I've never had a parking ticket either...

OK, i'll ask then...who is my being?

Is it simple grammar, meaning 'you will be', or does it actually mean something else..as in my fictional being (my 'Mr.')?
