'nuther cop story:
This one happened about 13 years ago...
One night after a long "freight shift" at the parts store I worked at, I was
driving home through downtown Puyallup. (S. of Seattle for those not in the
know). It was a bit past 1:00a, and a beautiful summer night. The top was off
and I was rather enjoying myself, not in any hurry to get home. Out of
nowhere there came those purty blue lights, and I found myself being pulled
over, not by one, but by TWO cruisers. They both got out and came up to my
car:
"Do you know how fast you were going?"
>"Sure do - 35-just like that sign back there says."
"Oh- uh... OK. We just wanted to make sure you were *safe*"
>"Of course I am, can I go home now?"
At this point they were exchanging the "oh $#it what do we do now" glances,
and just sorta let me go. They never did bother to check my
license/registration. What WERE they looking for? ? ? They never did make any
comment about the car- too afraid?? I don't suppose they'd ever seen a (then)
19 year-old red-head in a nice little sportscar at 1:00a before ?! <G>
I 'spose we should add some fancy doughnuts/pastries to that "stuff to keep
in the trunk in case of emergencies" list eh? <G>
