I Fought the Law

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

I live in a small town. There's more than one bar, but you'd never know it if you went to the townie bar. As you can imagine, it being a small town and all, the cops are pretty well set on where to go when catching drunks. Normally the cops just bug the out-of-state college kids but this one cop had it in for the townie bar patrons. So one night after a night of especially raucous drinking he was sitting at his post across the street waiting for the bar let out to catch him a good one. Little did he know that I was in that bar and was contributing a public service. It was superbowl weekend and I didn't really follow sports but I knew that my fellow barstool-warmers did and wanted to have a good time. I was good friends with the lion's-share of them so I told them the deal. What the cop saw at close was everybody file back to their cars and then I put on a good show being parked right next to the entrance to the parking lot. I stumbled out, fell down, crawled a little, and eventually got to my car. Once in my car I would turn on the wipers randomly and then the headlights. All during this the cop zeroed in on me, waiting for me to move. While he was so focused on me he didn't notice all the other people filing out quietly on their way home. As soon as I pulled out he was behind me with his wig-wags. I rolled down my window and he noticed immediately I wasn't drunk. Didn't stop him from making me do the field sobriety test twice and the breathalyzer. He was too mad to do anything but let me go.
