Re: Really, Officer...

Place is small enough that I know most of them...got friends on the force; one of them wanted me to join once, but I'm not up for that sort of gig.

Either.

Considering the crap about cops that seems to be rather proliferate on CNN these days I would hazard that you ran into a good one, with a rather morbid sense of humour given recent events.

...ok...so I went out and played a church service for a pastor a couple nights ago...mainly because the guy came all the way up from Florida and has been after me for a lead player on an original work of his for over a year or two now...hard to say no when someone wants you to play over an their original because they like what you bring to it...

...anyway, here we are heading to dinner after the service, and I get pulled over in a DUI gauntlet that we all had to go through to get to the resturant. The exchange went as follows:

cop: have you been drinking tonight, sir?

me: I'm not even gonna say this because you won't believe it...

cop: nothing to drink tonight?

me: ok...I'm gonna say it - no, I haven't been drinking, and in fact I'm on my way to dinner from church...

cop: you play guitar in church?

me: yes, and that's it in the back seat actually.

cop: you sure there's a guitar in there and not a sniper rifle?

me: tonight, yes - there's a guitar in there...

cop: ok...have a good evening.
