Close brush with the law... *phew*
 

My friends and I decided to go to this pumpkin patch near my house so we can slide down the gigantic blow-up slide. For some reason the owners decided not to like us and said that they're closed. My friends and I went to the parking lot to decide what we were going to do next. Then all of a sudden I realize that I had evening class, so I say "Oh sh*t! I'll see you guys later!" I jump in the car and stomp it... The parking lot was littered with gravel and sand and I took off a little too fast. So I yank the steering wheel and of course my beloved front-wheel drive car start plowing diagonally (yay, FWD!) and shooting up big clouds of dust and sand. I let off the throttle a little bit and straightened the car out. So as I'm about to get out of the parking lot I hear the dreaded siren and I see the p^H^H...cop car behind me. I think to myself "aw, shit!" So the cop comes over and literally yells at me "Hey shit for brains, let me see your license and registration!" So I give him the stuff... Then he goes over to his car and comes back to me about 10 minutes later.
He says "You know what you just did is a misdemeanor. It's an exhibition of speed. If I write you a ticket you'd have to go to court and they can suspend your license for a year..." So I'm thinking "Great!" Then he goes on to ask me where I live and so on... Then he says "Slow down!" and leaves.

Can you say PHEW!!!

PHEW!!!

That cop sounded like an ass...I bet the judge would have gone easy on you if you told him what the pig said.

the ^H means Ctrl-H which in Unix-world stands for backspace. It's a joke that people on tech-related forums use... so I first wrote "pig" then pressed backspace twice and wrote "cop" :)

Heh, I hope you get it...

awww, it's ok I won't tell anyone
