So I've been pulled over several times at bar thirty by friends in Law Enforcement who haven't recognized my new ride yet. They walk up, say, "Oh, It's you." And let me go since I haven't drank for almost 24 years. I used to get ****ed about traffic stops to to check driver sobriety. Now I just chuckle and move on. We have a lot of drunk Mexican National's with no driver's licenses or insurance I'd love to have picked off the streets of Jackson. If that means I get pulled over for rolling through a stop sign just because its 01:30, I can *live* with that. And don't get me started on knuckle draggers... -- According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker." |

It's sad things got to this state for him. Capisce? I think its sad. I remember chearing like a wild man (wild kid) for him when he made that amazing, improbable gold medal run. Who couldn't have been proud of that? A great American story. As for showing the gold medal to the cop after being pulled over... kind of reminds me of the gold medallions in 'Pirates of the Carribean'. Curse or treasure? All depends on the situation nate |

Rotten to see someone who did something so fantastic, now smeared all over the papers, arrested and in jail. By his behaviour, you'd have to wonder if that crash and head injury has affected him and caused him to do this. ant |

And let me go since I haven't drank for almost 24 years. Perhaps Bill should have taken that route. It's just not for some people. I was around him from time to time. He seemed like an ok guy. Last night this comedian on tv said that he got pulled over one time and when the cop asked if he'd been drinking he said "Why? Do I have a fat chick in the back seat?" It got a chuckle out of me. |
