Ma'am have you been drinking???

( I really enjoy this liscense plate. And Stacie...this has got to

be funny to you.)

Well...no...I have not been drinking.

Stacie and I went and saw "500 days of Summer" last night in Scottsdale. If you want to leave never ever wanting to fall in love, then I recommend it. Kind of miserable.

Anyahoo...on our way home around midnight I was only going about 70 mph and then a cop's lights go off behind me. I immediately look at my speedometer and I wasn't going very fast so I was confused on why I was even being pulled over.

After I pull over,

The cop comes up to the window and the conversation is as follows:

(I roll down my window and hand him my liscence and registration)

Cop: Ma'am...did you know that your light is out for your liscence plate?

Me: um...no sir I didn't know that...

Cop: Really? Well it is...you didn't know that?

Me: Sorry sir I really had no idea. In fact, I didn't even know my liscence plate had a light.

By this point the cop seemed so confused on how I didn't know that my light was out. It was like in comparison to not knowing that my engine was on and that I was driving on the 60 at Midnight on a Thursday night.

Me: Really sir I am sorry.

So then he takes my information to his bike (he is a bike cop) and spends like 10 minutes looking up whatever it is they look up. He comes back to the car with a warning and a paper that I have 30 days to get it fixed. And he still seems so confused about how I didn't know my light was out. I am sorry sir that I am in my car driving and not driving behind myself...what the heck? Seriously? How in heaven's name would I ever know something like that? I wanted to say that but I won't be disrespectful...but seriously? Seriously!

Do you even know that your have a light for your plates? Maybe I did know that but it never occured to me to check it on a regular basis. Now I know...Now I know...

And then here comes the

best part. As he is handing me back my information:

Cop: Ma'am have you had anything to drink tonight?

(Um...no... since I have never even touched a beer in my life)

Me: No sir...definetly not been drinking

Cop: because I just noticed that your lane changes were kind of slow.

By this point I wanted to laugh out loud. Lane changes kind of slow...seriously? What does that even mean really?

Thank you police for protecting us as citizens of this great state of Arizona. But

stick to that and not useless reasons to pull someone over.

Stacie would have done anything to see a sobriety test done one me.

I guess I would have loved that too...
