I think most of us have been there and if not, you will. Getting pulled over is part of the Americana experience for the rebel in you. Whether it's for driving through a Stop sign or you're lights weren't functioning properly -Remember this, there's always a way out. Just use your mouth or elegant body parts if your a women, to get you off the hook. Sometimes it helps to be funny. Like telling the officer, "sure I have my license, officer. Do you mind, holding my beer while I get it." Or, "Oh officer... (read his ID) Wallace? My grandfather who fought in WWI, his name last name was Wallace also. This must be a sign, maybe a warning but I'm already proud to be pulled over by you." These were actually said and worked, believe it or not.
There was this other time when Ricky and Bobby (Fictional names for protection) were smoking Marijuana while driving through a side road in North Carolina. They assumed they weren't going to get caught because it was out of the way from any major highway. They were listening to AC/DC but at the volume level that is one number away from its' max, just because they didn't want to get carried away. Suddenly, they saw a siren in the rear view mirror. Bobby instantly panicked because he's on a 30 day paid leave (vacation) from the military. Ricky new that and while Officer Jesus (we'll call him that) was walking towards the truck, he stepped out and met him half way. At first, Officer Jesus was startled to see him out of the car without any instructions but than Ricky explained, "Officer, I know we ran through a red light and I was wrong for doing so. The truth is my gay boyfriend Bobby in the truck, is on time-off from the military. None of our parents know that we're gay and we try to keep it a secret. It's the only time, quote on quote, that I get to hang out with him. Now, We both have been through enough and if our parents, never mind the military, found out about this...(3 second pause)... it would hurt them. I'm asking, no begging to please let this go." The Officer was shocked and didn't know how to react. So Jesus decided to sacrifice his duties and give Ricky a warning. When Ricky went back to the truck, Bobby asked what he'd said. Ricky, replied, "you don't want to know, you don't want to know."
