I Fought the Law

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

"You'll never catch me, coppers!"

Up +265 Down

My dad likes to tell me stories about when he was my age on the way to visit family. Once, when we were passing a pool, he told me a particularly hilarious one. When he was in high school, he and some friends wanted to go to the public pool for a night swim. They've done it before, he said, but not often. After a little while at the pool, the see headlights and try to hop the fence to run from the cops. They get caught and brought in, and the cop says if their parents don't come pick them up, they have to stay the night in jail. His one friend (who I know well and could totally see him doing this) decides to take off his shoes and run for it, yelling "You'll never catch me, coppers!" My dad and the friends that were still there burst out laughing as the police chased him. He never got caught.
