Soo.. I had my "Oh Shit" moment of the year last night..
The back Story:
I fry donuts at the local grocery store, and the fryer is broken. I have to go to
the next town over and use their fryer, on the night shift, and transport the
donuts back to my home store in boxes. I'm driving a Buick Regal, and the trunk doesn't
work, so the boxes have to be piled in the back seat. There's 6 boxes total.
Now, I was on my way back to my home store, with the fresh fried donuts in the boxes
in the back seat, with a little gap between the top 2, just so I can see out the rear-view mirror.
I happen to look up, only to see the famous flashing red and blue lights. There's an
"Oh shit" moment for you. Anyways, I pull over, and wait for the cop to come to my window, still
on the clock, getting very impatient. He finally gets there and I roll down my window.
With that serious cop look on his face, he asks the same question they all do:
"Do you know why I pulled you over?"
This would have been a great time to just keep my mouth shut, and play dumb, but instead,
I say the first thing that pops into my little idiotin' head:
"Does it have anything to do with the donuts I have in the back seat?"
DOH!! I realized after I said that how awful it sounded. He goes to reach for his little
walkie-talkie thing on his shoulder, when I decide to actually explain IN DETAIL the
situation, and that I really do have donuts in the boxes in my back seat, and the reason why. He has me take
one of the boxes out and prove that there really are donuts in them. I get let off with
a warning, no ticket or anything. I damn near shit a brick.
Turns out, it WAS the donuts that got me pulled over..
Obstruction of vision, or some stupid shit like that.. Wow.. Just wow..
That's about a 9.7 on the Sphincter Scale.
