Breaking the Rules

What rules do you live by? Always make it a double? Never date a waitress at your favourite restaurant? This week on WireTap, it's all about breaking the rules. A teenage boy rebels against the rules of young love; another defies the laws of physics. Plus, Jonathan's parents break the rules of logic by answering the age old question: which came first, the chicken or the egg?
