As I traveled a back road headed to a PCA event this morning, I passed a county sheriff sitting in a church parking lot. It was wet and rainy so I was taking it easy. Sheriff stayed put. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I reached the main divided highway, crossed to the middle area and waited for traffic to clear. As I pulled out, I noticed the sheriff at the stop sign. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) For the next couple miles I traveled in the right lane while he hung back in the left lane. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Finally, he pulled in behind me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) and before long... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/busted_cop.gif) I pulled over all the while wondering what I had done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Sheriff's deputy comes up to my window, greets me and then asks "What happened to your bumper?" I asked, "I don't know.... what's wrong with it?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) His reply: "It isn't there." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) So I got out and showed him that it is indeed "there". His response: "Oh, so that is the bumper?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) "I guess you can go, then." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

You can't even see the bumper on new cars. Most have a bumper cap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

In Florida he would have repeated, "It isn't there, son." And issued you a ticket.

Yeah, Florida...got caught 30 years ago going the wrong way on a one way street. I was 18; not the teener. Got pulled over...here was the conversation: Cop: What are you doing? Me: Driving?? Cop; You're going the wrong way! Me: No, sir. This is the way Cop: This is a one way street. Me: I'm only going one way Cop: Don't you see the arrows? Me: Arrows? I didn't even see the Indians" Cop: "Oh yeah? Step out of the car. Then got some Buford T. Justice lecturing about being a sidewalk attorney. Note: No offense to any Native Americans; I was stupid kid once...more than once. |

Cop: Hey, how you doing? License and registration. My friend: (Including jedi hand motion) You don't need to see my license and registration. Cop: I... uh, don't need to see your license and registration. My friend: These aren't the droids you're looking for. Cop: These aren't the droids I'm looking for. My friend: Move along. Cop: Move along, move along. Apparently my buddy drove off and that was that. I was not so lucky... I don't think my trooper was a Star Wars fan... or didn't like being compared to a storm trooper. |
