I Fought the Law

Jesus broke the law. So did George Washington. You did, too, and we want to hear about it.

Up on the roof

Up +153 Down

A while back I was living in a tiny town along the Ohio river. Pretty soon after moving in, we found out just how "close knit" (read: nosy) everyone is. It was a fairly warm night for October, so my roommate and I climbed out our huge windows onto the roof, and kept climbing to the peak of the house (30+ feet.) After a while, we saw a cop car roll by. Then another, and then another. All 3 cars flipped around, completely blocking the road, and facing the wrong way down the one way street. Then they jumped out and started looking around our block. We didn't attempt to hide, just waited to see how long it would take them to find us. It took them 20 minutes before one of them finally raised his flashlight high enough to see us. Then he acted like he couldn't see us until he called all his buddies over. They came walking over and yelled at us to come down. We got to the roof just outside our windows and couldn't go further without going inside (they flipped when we told them that.) It took them a few minutes to believe that we actually lived in the house, at which point they told us it was dangerous to be up there and we probably shouldn't do it anymore (we did. Every night til it snowed.) Just goes to show that in a sleepy little town, the cops have nothing better to do than hassle college students.
