I hope I'm not getting carried away dominating this thread, but I have a lot of crazy stories, and I guess I am kind of on a roll getting them out.

I was driving around with some friends one night a long, long, long time ago. I was way too wasted to drive, so one of my friends was driving my car. He liked to drive it, because it was a '66 Mustang, and it was a fun car to drive. We were passing a joint around the car when we went around this sharp corner in the road, and my friend punched the gas to squeal the tires around the corner.

My other friend says, "Hey, dude! Don't do that. There could be a cop behind us," then turns his head to look back, "Holy Shit! There IS a cop behind us!"

The cop hits his lights.

I blow out my last hit, crush out the joint with my fingers, and stuff it into the seat.

My freind pulls to the side of the road, and suddenly we are totally surrounded by marked cop cars and unmarked cars! And all of these "jump out" cops with the windreakers that say POLICE in yellow letters pile out of their cars and engulf the entire area.

The cop from the car that hit us with the lights comes up to the driver's side, and the first thing he says is, "I smell marijuana. Have you been smoking marijuana?"

My freind knew it was pointless to deny it, but didn't tell him we were smoking only 3 seconds ago. He said, "We smoked a joint in here about 2 hours ago."

"An honest Man! I like an honest man! If I strip you down and tear this car apart, will I find any more drugs?"

"No officer, that was the last of it, two hours ago."

"Ok then. Be safe, and have a good evening."

And they all piled back into their cars and left in less than 30 seconds.

We decided that they had been looking for something in particular, and we were not it, so they didn't have time to bother with us.

That was one freaky encounter.
