I Got Pulled Over on Memorial Day Weekend!

So yesterday I was super super bored at church. I'm supposed to do the children's program on Sunday nights, but there were only three kids there. So, I called my boyfriend who was at home doing nothing.


I said, "Rescue me and take me in your arms. Rescue me, I need your tender touch. 'Cause I'm lonely, and I'm blue, I need you and your love too, come on and rescue me."

(I really did say that...but it was more because of the song than anything else.)


So my young, strapping, night in shining armor came to save me from the pit of my despair. Anyway, we got in his car and started driving around. I had a Mountain Dew and he had a Fitz Root beer.


We were driving down Clayton Road when he turned to me and said, "Julie, where did you get pulled over the other day?"


I said, "Turn right here."

As he proceeded to turn right, a police officer, stopped at the stop sign, gazed at us.

Tim said, "Is that the guy who pulled you over?"


We both looked at him and I told him it was not the guy. As we continued to drive down Mason Ridge, we saw the police officer make a U-Turn, flip on his lights, and follow us down the road. I looked at Tim and immediately began to laugh. He pulled over and I pointed out the resemblance of a Fitz's Root beer and a Budweiser.


NOTICE:







They look extremely similar.






The police officer angrily walked up to our car and said, "What are you guys drinking?"

I smiled at him and Tim showed him that the supposed beer was actually just an innocent Christian kid Fitz's Root beer. We then proceeded to have a very funny conversation with the man about all the drunk drivers on the road on Memorial Day Weekend. He kindly advised us to stay home and stay alive! We thanked him for the fantastic advise and drove away!


I can now say that I have been pulled over four times in my life: once with my Father, once on my own, and twice with Tim!


More to come...if I remember!

This is by far one of the funniest cop stories I have heard yet.
