I Fought the Law

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

Baja Blast saves another one.

Up +43 Down

When I was 17 I worked at Taco Bell. One night, a few friends and I went to my work for free soda. I was driving. Moments after we pulled out of the parking lot, I saw red and blue lights behind me. I pulled over. The officers began the standard questions. They asked if I knew why they pulled me over. I said no. They told me I was going 55 in a 45 and made an illegal u-turn. Being a young idiot, I retorted, “No I wasn’t. My speedometer didn’t go over 50, and I went past the illegal u-turn and used the other one. He then asked the dreaded, “Have you been drinking tonight?” Without thinking, I lifted my drink from the cup-holder, held it up and said, “Just Mountain Dew Baja Blast.” The officer was nice enough to let me off without any tickets, and gave me some valuable advice, which I still remember to this day. He said, “Don’t be such a dumbass next time.”
