Congrats to Cheryl for getting both post #1700 and reply #1700.

Maybe I should play 1700 for the lottery number tonight

I'll start off with one (from my side of the badge). Several years ago I was working traffic and was having generally a lousy day. As anyone who works this career will tell you, an officer CANNOT let his emotions intrude upon how he/she does their job. (Yea right, and we all know an elephant can fly, hmmm). Anyway, working traffic and having a lousy day, needless to say I was a tad grumpy. I clocked a car on RADAR doing well over the posted limit and proceeded to pull over the driver. I approached, asked for license, registration and proof of insurance in stereotypical manner and once provided with the documents proceeded on the standard you were speeding lecture. The driver was very sheepish and apologetic, however with my mood the way it was the idea of a warning never entered my mind. That it until I returned to the patrol car and was examining the driver’s paperwork, for some reason they had and slipped the orange “Get Out of Jail Free” card from Monopoly in there. Giving the devil his due, when I stopped laughing and finally finished the radio traffic I gave the warning. Anyone who has the “cajones” or whatever to pull that can get the break. Of course I DO NOT recommend this action, as you know some of my brothers and sister is blue & brown have had their sense of humor surgically removed. Stay between the yellow and the white lines and drive safely.

- Officer Friendly

Now THAT is hysterical!!! I don't think that I could have done that. I've only been pulled over once and it was not a fun situation. It was years ago, near Woodfield Mall (Cindy & Mary know the area). I was SO embarrased, because I stupidly sped up to make a light, because I knew this one was a LONG red, and I ended up getting stopped just before the light. What an idiot I was?!?!?! Anyway, that was YEARS ago and I haven't been pulled over again.

Thank you for supporting my taxes.

I'm assuming this was by a Schaumburg police officer!!

Great story curt
My "I got pulled over" story is a good one. It was for the tint on my car windows (the car came that way, I'm not a pimp or a drug dealer, it was legal tint in Ohio but not in NY) 9 1/2 months pregnant and I had a complete nervous breakdown! I started to hyperventilate and had really bad contractions and I completely freaked the guy out he was stuttering and could barely form a sentence! I did not do this on purpose to get out of it, I was very hormonal! But the state trooper was very very scared I was going to give birth to Emma right then and there and he wanted no part of it!






I'm starting to think about it!



Nope, I'm afraid I was just around the corner from insane already!




It didn't add to my post count. It's just taking me forever to try to reply to every comment in one post!! I'm very glad I can provide some humor for everyone's friday afternoon!

Now, that's one way to make your posts effective, cram it all into ONE post.

 

[alikat99]

Well, hopefully now that I've made him his own screen name, he'll post on the thread after tomorrow!!!

In the meantime....I'll get his post count going!

I do realize I'm cheating....but I'm having fun, so it doesn't really matter!

OMG - she did it!!!

 

[Bruce the Shark]

Ah, ha, ha!!!! I knew that she couldn't resist posting.

Wait until she sees Bruce the Shark!

ETA--we post that the same exact minute! Maybe we really are twins seperated at birth!

YES, it was! But, I ended up going to traffic school, so I didn't pay the fine.

See how behind I was from just going to lunch and doing some stuff around the house. I missed Diana morphing into Bruce the Shark!!!

Now, off to catch up on PMs.

 

[Scratch42]

Yep Cindys right. He had just finished the repo cruise.

No, Andy cancelled the Repo Cruise. It was for a good reason but for the life of me can't remember!

[Bruce the Shark]

Oh no!! I'm being punished!! I'm trying to log off of Bruce and back into me and it won't let me!! Serves me right!! I click log out, it says 'your cookies are being cleared, where do you want to go" and no matter what I do it doesn't log me out!! Am I going to be Bruce forever??

 

[ohiominnie]

Here's a question for all of you who were on SSMC05. Do you remember anyone from the DIS who wanted to get on who didn't? I know Cheryl and Todd got on the waitlist (and got on) but I don't think they were calling in first thing in the morning. Anyone remember? Cheryl - were you guys trying early or am I remembering correctly that you had something going on that morning and by the time you called in later in the day it was sold out?

Wasn't Mrs. Mork on the waitlist??? She didn't get on.

NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH....I got a TOP and I'm not even going on the cruise!!!

OMG - I couldn't help laughing out loud on that one. I'm glad that Maddie didn't wake up. And, I get to stay & play, since I asked Chris to pick up Emily from school.

 

[ohiominnie]

Michele, I just mentioned you a couple posts ago. Were your ears ringing??

I still have your hint on booking. Thanks. I hope it works.

For the rest of you, I'll tell you what it is on Monday. There comes a point where every man, woman and child for themselves and this is one of those times!!

WOW! You should go on Survivor! That's something a castaway would pull!!

Amazing, isn't it!! one for each of you this time!

Poor Judd got kicked off last night, and if Cindy holds out on us, she may too! Cindy, the tribe has spoken......

Amy, I'm happy the girls are still asleep too. I mentioned in a pm to Cindy about how I should give them each a konk kooler to make nap time last a little longer when I'm having fun!!

I need to put the disclaimer in for people who don't know I DO NOT give my children alcohol.....I refuse to share my konk koolers with anybody!!!

 

[Bruce the Shark]

I just want the 30 to get rid of these wierd restrictions....

What restrictions are you getting? I haven't found any restrictions, but I also can't log off this name! Maybe that's my restriction?

 

[cgcw]

I can't play much longer. Gary took the boys to school this AM. I need to get the rest of the crew up and out the door to pick them up. But, I still have about 15 minutes.

We all need to make sure that we have our twisted lemonade (or drink of choice) ready for chat tonight. But remember, not too much, because we all have something to do early in the morning.

Hey, Karen, I could share the tip with you today. Especially if your still not going. How much is it worth to you?

Weren't you the one who never even had a konk kooler on SSMC05??

No worry, I had one for you!
