Line 5: This is [[Truth in Television]] to a certain extent. Some district attorneys will charge a criminal with every single crime they committed in the process of committing their greatest transgression, resulting in situations where a murder suspect is actually technically on trial for homicide, trespassing, and illegal parking. See also: [[Good News, Bad News]], [[The Triple]], [[Odd Name Out]], [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]], and [[Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving]]. Compare [[Poke the Poodle]], [[All Crimes Are Equal]], and [[~~Jaywalking Will Ruin Your~~Major ~~Life~~Misdemeanor]], when the minor crime carries significant consequences. The inverse is [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]], where a list of seemingly mundane things ends with something much darker.
