Anyone have a funny near-bust experience. You know, the kind that scare the shit out of you when its happening but you laugh about later. My two best are:

Years ago me and a buddy were heading back to Chicago from a Dead show at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. I don't know about now but back then , if you were smart, you didn't speed or do anything illegal in your car while in Wisconsin cause the cops there had nothing better to do than bust you. We weren't too smart. We were doing about 75 in the left lane, in my car covered in Dead stickers, smoking a fat joint. We might as well have had a big bullseye painted on the car. Anyhow, I happened to look up in my rear view mirror and noticed some shit head right on my ass. Another glance and I noticed the bright flashing lights on top of the shithead's car. "Holy Shit, a Cop!!". The car was totally hot boxed and when my buddy rolled down his window smoke just poured out. We were totally freaking out but couldn't do anything so we started to pull over, sure we would probably spend the night in jail. As soon as we got into the right lane, however, the cop flew by us on to somewhere else.

And..even better:

I was living in Shanghai China, studying Chinese language, a while back. Weed was pretty scarce, actually non-existant, but I could always find hash from some of the Uighur people living there. Although Chinese, Uighurs are Muslim and come from the area of China bordering Afghanistan and always had hash.

In a country with several billion people finding a secluded place to smoke can be pretty tough but I had found a pretty cool spot in a local park. So after scoring a nice ball of hash I grabbed the old tobacco pipe I had found and headed off to a nice seculded bench tucked into the trees. No sooner had I taken a big hit when this old Chinese cop comes walking up behind me.

Being a foriegner I stuck out like a sore thumb so everyone would check me out and this cop was no exception. So here I am, sitting there holding the pipe full of hash, with this cop standing about two feet away checking me out. I'm having visions of spending my life in a Chinese prison when, "Jesus Christ!!", he starts talking to me. A cop talking to a foriegner attracted more attention and now there are about 10 people just standing around watching. I'm totally trippin out when I start to realize this guy has no idea that I'm doing something illegal. I guess that pot and hash are rare enough there that it not a smell that every cop would instantly recognize and he attributed what I was doing as just being something weird and foriegn. After what seemed like an eternity I got my wits together, looked at my watch, and said I had to go. And that was that. Needless to say I found a better place to smoke that the local park.

Anyone else have some fun stories like these. I'd love to hear them
