why would you put that on your car?!

A sign on the vehicle stated "driver being drugged by LSD,"

Oh those whacky Mormons.

talulahgosh: why would you put that on your car?!

To be the decoy?

I find my ACLU sticker does just fine getting me pulled over more often than need be

He was just taking a trip, minding his own business...and the blue giraffe in the back seat was navigating.

Hmm. So being schizophrenic while driving isn't a threat to self or others? Assuming, of course, it wasn't simply a clever troll.

We have GOT to set her up with the TimeCube dude. It'd be epic.

Heh!

When my siblings and I were very young (2-8) we used to have to go grocery shopping with my mom.

One particular day, we were in a mischevious mood and used a pen and paper to write a sign and hold it against the back window of the station wagon.

It read, "HELP! We're being kidnapped!"

Mind you, this was the late 70s, early 80s and cellphones were not common.

A few minutes later we were pulled over by a cop who had (presumably) received a call about kidnapped children in a car.

The cop came walking up along the car, looking at us little hyper shiats bouncing around the back, then came up to my exhausted mom. He simply said, "Looks like it's about nap time. Have a nice day."

NEVER said why he pulled her over and just let it go.

Needless to say, we hid the note and swore we would never mention it.

A few years ago at a Mother's Day brunch, my youngest sister let it slip when we were talking about all the horrible things we did as kids. My mom screamed in the restaurant, "YOU LITTLE shiatS! I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY HE PULLED ME OVER AND NEVER WROTE A TICKET!!!"

Everyone but her still laughs about it.

Ed Finnerty: Heh!

When she murders you and needs a lawyer, I'll defend her pro bono. ;)

However, officers determined the man did not need help and was not an immediate threat, he said.

Just wondering, why do they say "not an 'immediate' threat"? Couldn't they just as easily say he's not a threat, at all? Is that some way to cover their ass in case he was on his way to rob a liquor store? "Well he wasn't an immediate threat then, but obviously he is now."

Did you warn them about bin Laden? 9/11? Katrina? Haiti? Japan???

I had a girlfriend who liked to have mock arguments with me in the grocery store then flinch away and yell "Don't hit me again!"

Good times.

LOL--my husband & I do something like that. He'll joke about "his wife" and I'll make a scene like, "WTF--you didn't tell me you were married!" or "You promised you wouldn't bring her up when I'm around!" Less likely to initiate a call to the police than flinching and yelling about being hit.

evilsofa: I fail. I mean not as bad as this.

LOL--some of the links still work. Thankfully, they go to normal, Web 2.0 sites.

Wow. About 12 seconds after I came out of my seizure the piano music started playing and sent me into another one.

LOL--sorry, can't take the credit:



/I've been waiting months for someone to say "xxxx called..." just so I can use that reference. :)

Holy cats--I didn't even last long enough for any piano music to kick in.

Came for the Top Gear guys in the Deep South....

/BF, at least tell them to pull Pedro in the 8th

CSB:

My mom was in a car wreck a few years ago. Flipped her Explorer from one side of the highway going northbound over to the southbound side (rolled 3 times). She was able to walk away from it with no serious injuries except a few scrapes and two black eyes from the steering wheel.

Anyways, they were out at a Kroger and damn near every person was giving my father horrible looks (he's a pretty big pacifist, so he thought it was funny). An old woman eventually came up to my mom and said "would you like me to call the police?" My mom looks right at her and says "ohh he was the one who made the call! They agreed that I was being careless. I was lucky to not get a ticket too!" The woman's jaw dropped right there and my dad was laughing his ass off.

I don't fully grasp her conspiracy theory, but the Nazis and Krispy Kreme are both in on it.
