Well my dad and brother just stopped by and told what I found to be a hilarious story of what just happened to them.
My dad just moved from his apartment to a house he bought. They just moved in and cable hadn't come to hook them up yet. We all live in a decent sized town of 90,000 right next a small city, so it is a small town feel on a large scale. Anyways, they both wanted to check there email and stuff so they went driving around with their laptops at midnight looking for hot spots, this alone made me laugh. They ended going to Panera bread to use the free wireless there. It was closed but the signal still on so they sat out in the car on the computer. My dad was still on and my brother put the seat back to wait for him.
According to my dad about a minute later a cop pulled into the parking lot parked and came over. So my dad closed the lid on his laptop and my brother sat up, I guess this looked suspicious to the cop. When he came to the window he starting asking questions, then he asked my dad to get out and take a breathalyser because my dad told him he had 2 beers an hour ago. My dad blows 0.00, so he told him to get back in the car, then my dad said he started asking the normal stuff, why they're there stuff like that. But then he started talking to my brother, who is 19, asking him if this really was his father, asking him if everything was ok, shining his flashlight up and down him, then right before leaving leaned in a little and asked
"Is anyone in here being held against there will?" LOL.
I mean I could see if he was younger but at 19 with a patchy beard and 6'2" 175 lbs it's not really the same thing. He then suggested that they go back home.
I know I laugh when they stopped but to tell me and thought I'd pass it along. I guess it would be funnier if you knew them because that makes it even better.
