there are laws against that? but, i've been pulled over holding a beer (think i'm kidding?) and slyly set it between my feet. i never fathomed the idea until a road trip with my old man's parents. they bought beer on the way to vegas and handed a few back to us... nothing like driving through the dessert, dirnking beer with the old man's folks and getting lost in death valley! now, that's a road trip...
i assure you, if we get pulled over, i can talk my way out of jail time... now, i'm feeling catty, so don't argue or i may have to get in my car right now jsut to prove it...
(another story, goodness, i forget the good ones until i'm remeinded).. i was once pulled over going at least 70 in a 30 at 3 am. i opened my glove box to get my registration and out falls a baggie with a few pills in it (no, i don't do that anymore!!). the police officer asked what they were and i said 'vitamins sir' he didn't even look at the bag, told me to slow down a bit and be careful and i was on my way...
now, if i'm driving i don't get tickets (except that seat belt one once, but it saved me from a speeding ticket). however, if someone else is driving and i'm sitting shot gun, they always get tickets! go figure!
so, i must drive on this trip, or sit in the back seat. (and don't worry, i'm a good driver, but hold your drinks tight... i've been known to 'fake left, turn right' (my personal favorite), hop curbs, pass on the shoulder and not break when turning... do you guys mind? it makes the trip so much funner... (oh, and i only hit non-moving vehicles and objects.. never once hit a moving car, nor have i been hit by one either..)
and are you really coming to get me? don't be a tease now...
