DIS Dads The DIS Dad's Club IV - Man Laws & Cheese Balls

[trennr]

I just realized that today is my 1 year anniversary of joining the DIS. And I'm up to 989 posts. Which means I have 16 1/2 hours to say 11 things so I can reach that magical 1000th post.

I think you can do it.


BTW I'm currently in the lead on the Caption Contest!!!!

Well, we all know how well you work on a deadline

 

[DisneyFed]

Have you already shared that one around here? If not, care to?

Sure,

I was very busy one early afternoon (running radar while reading Bassmaster Magazine).....when a minivan (yes I said it....) blew by me running somewhere north of 80 in my 65 zone..

So, naturally, I zipped out and pulled the offending vehicle over to the right When I got up to him, I realized he had "Disney or Bust" type slogans in those window paints pretty much all over the van....

I walked up to the vehicle which was occupied by the driver, his wife and a 3 or 4 year old girl in a child seat directly behind them.....I got up to the window (which he had opened) introduced myself, and before the poor guy could say anything, out of the corner of my eye I see the little girl pointing her finger with one hand on her waist---and then out it comes...

"Daddy, Mommy told you like 5 times to slow down, and you didn't listen, and now you're in trouble and he's going to give you a TICKET, and you deserve it...." and she really was cutting into him as only a little girl can do to her dad (Thank God I only have a boy)...she was going on and on, the whole time shaking that finger at him.

I mean, I never got another word out of my mouth, I couldn't help but just stand there and listen to this poor guy get a lecture from his 4 year old. The dude's wife wouldn't even LOOK at me...she had her head down with her hand over her mouth desperately trying not to laugh, and he had the most helpless look on his face.....

Finally, I couldn't take anymore and just busted out laughing, at which time the wife lost it too---the driver was white as a sheet Then the little girl turned on me "It's not funny you know, he could hurt somebody"...which caused me to lose it again....

So I took a look at his license and handed back, told him...."I think you've been punished enough already"...he managed a meek "Thank you sir" while his wife went into convulsions and the little girl finally gave up the ghost....

I'm willing to bet that poor guy went 5 under the rest of the trip

Man, I laughed for about two hours.....

Much better than the NYPD guy who just showed me his badge and then pulled off without even saying a word---that encounter had a MUCH different ending....

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am at my desk crying with laughter now. It is also really frightening as I have not one but TWO daughters around that age. I have no doubt that they would turn informant on me in a second... I mean, were I ever to accidentally bend a traffic law.

Good thing my wife is driving when we head down to Disney next month

I can honestly say I have NEVER witnessed such a tongue lashing in my life....I know it was funnier in person, but I was done for the day after that one----oh, and I forgot the "Jr. Trooper" badge I gave her after I made sure he was valid....she seemed to like that....Dad, probably not so much

Anything we can do to help? Should we give you random questions to respond to? If there's one thing I'm good at, it's inane conversation. Don't act so surprised.

80 in a 65 on 95 in a Mini-van I couldn't imagine doing such a thing.

Please do tell about the North vs. South Fuzzfest.

Very cool story, I'm sure I would get the same grilling from DS in some form or another.

But anyways, it's about an hour before I become scarce at the office and the trip begins, loaded the van before I left this morning and have a fresh stack of videos for the boy to watch and me to listen to (I'm introducing the boy to the first season of Tailspin!!!!!!), so in the words of my hero Carl Fredricksen......

So Long Boys!

You can win the contest....but you'll never take my title!

Hmm... I wonder how I would look with blue striped war paint?

Oh there's a big surprise! That's an incredible - I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die from that surprise!

I'd also like to point out that I am still multi-quoting and not responding to these individually. I'm going to earn these 1000 posts.

Tailspin! Now there's a blast from the past. Have you rechristened you car the "Sea Duck" for the trip?

Have fun in Paradise Falls!

Ooohhh, only 6 1/2 months. She's still got that new baby smell!
Welcome to the club!

Nope, there was no corn in the back


I pulled a guy over running 95 mph in a 70 zone, as I approach the vehicle I see all the NYPD, NY Police Union stickers, and obligatory NYPD hat on the back dash....(this is no big deal to us, as we see this all the time--usually from people who weren't ACTUALLY NYPD officers, but had family "on the job")

As I get up to the window, the guy hangs is badge out, and says "working" and takes off....leaving me standing on the side of the road....

No no no no no, this ain't happening....I run back to my car, and chase his behind down. When he pulls over the second time, he gets out of the car waving his arms and says to me "What's you're problem? I told you I was on the job. No professional courtesy in this state?". My response can not be posted but the nuts in bolts went like this:

"My problem here, Sparky, is you never even acknowledged me or even said hello, sorry, I'll slow down, how ya doin'...nothing...I never said a word to you and you show me a badge that may or may not be real and tell me 'working' and pull off without so much as a 'sorry Trooper, I'll slow down'. Let me ask you a question, what if I had done that to you in New York City. Courtesy works both ways and it's called 'discretion' in these parts".

He calmed down quickly (which might have had something to do with me glaring at him with the front edge of my Smokey hat about a fraction of a centimeter off his forehead, and I'm sure a pretty decent "crazy guy" look on my face, not to mention my sneering comments....

He started to back up and blubber out an apology, but it was too late.....45 minutes, two citations and $2200 dollars later, he was back on his way to Disney World........

Got a call from his precinct commander the next day...told him the whole story...he apologized for his officer's behavior and told me he would take care of it.

He paid his fine and wrote an official apology to me and the Patrol....we sent the commander a copy of the video, I'm sure he was less than impressed

Nate, Where did you end up staying in DC ?

$2200!? I get the speeding, what else did you write him up for?

 

[DisneyFed]

$2200!? I get the speeding, what else did you write him up for?

I wrote him 95 in a 70: 25 over $1100.00 (Six License Points)

Failure to Obey Direction (leaving the stop with me just standing there): Another $1100.00 (No points)


I got have gone with a couple more, but it would require taking him to be processed at the jail which was about an hour away....wasn't going to go that far.

We were already drafting a letter of complaint to NYPD when his Supervisor called us. He got in trouble when he got home----rookies
