My Monday Morning (100% TRUE STORY!)

[matcom]

So I get pulled over this morning on a busy road in a small New England town heading to work. Rush hour, cop has his lights flashing, siren, the works.

He comes up to me and tells me dispatch called in a report of a black
pickup (which I drive) with a cat on the roof. A cat.

I was the first black pickup he saw so he pulled me over.

Officer: We have a report of a black pickup with a cat on the roof. Do you
have a cat?

Me: I have 2 but they are at home as far as I know.

Officer: So no cats with you at this time?

Me: No cats sir.

Officer: So you haven't been driving with a cat on your roof?

Me: Do you SEE a cat on my roof?

Officer: Mind if I look in your truck for evidence of a cat?

Me: Help yourself.

Officer makes me get out of the truck on BUSY road and inspects.

Me: Don't mind the fur. That is from my dog, and no, he hasn't been on the roof either to my knowledge.

Me: Officer, if I had a cat on the roof wouldn't you be able to see it when
you pulled me over?

Officer (laughing now): You have a good point. Have a nice day.

:eyes:

Go ahead and rob a bank in this sleepy New England town tomorrow. The cops are 'occupied'

[Miss Carly]

5. OMG LOLOL that is funny

silly occifer, the cat would have slid off the roof at about 40 anyway, probably leaving some really deep claw marks on the roof, besides most cats would have jumped off when the vehicle started moving.

"Me: Don't mind the fur. that is from my dog, and no, he hasn't been on the roof either to my knowledge." :rofl:

6. Oh no ...

No I'm worried about that kitty ... :(

[trof]

7. This is one of those 'I just...I just...CANT BELIEVE IT' threads.

jeez
'Have a nice day.'

[matcom]

9. it was 7:45 and I was still half asleep

boy did THAT wake me up! :D

[trof]

10. Still liking the 'new' job?

We may be up in June.

[matcom]

14. LOVING it!

and you BETTER stop by here FIRST (before you get sick) :D

[trof]

23. Too true.

[GOPisEvil]

11. I can see his report now.

Just re-write your story Sgt Friday style in your head, see if it isn't FUNNIER.

[matcom]

13. combine Sgt Friday and Col Flagg report

pure GOLD! :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

16. We've got files on people that haven't even been born!

:rofl:

[Pale Blue Dot]

12. You know, I have to say this, but I'm putting on my tinfoil hat.

This is SO illogical that I almost think that they were inventing an excuse to pull black pickups over and inspect them without a warrant. The only thing thing that makes me doubt my suspicious is that it's an odd story to make up... however, it enabled them to search your truck, didn't it? :tinfoilhat:

[matcom]

15. eh. I could have said no

as far as I know it isn't even ILLEGAL to drive with a cat on your roof although I'm no lawyer :P

if he was a young guy I would have thought it was a rookie hazing thing but this was up in a sleepy town and NOTHING is impossible up there

[TZ]

17. wow

bookmarking...Finnfan made up a conspiracy theory! Good going man! :rofl: :woohoo: ;-)
sorry..I could NOT let that pass, unremarked...:)

[Pale Blue Dot]

18. Crap! I'm caught!

Are you going to take my skeptical badge now? :cry:

[LaurenG]

19. So where'd you hide the cat?

:hide:
Great story!
:rofl:

[matcom]

20. in TM's pants of course

there is a joke there somewhere :think:

:hide:

:rofl:

[TZ]

21. If I didn't know better

I would think you lived in Mayberry...Are you sure that wasn't Barney Fife who pulled you over....:D

[matcom]

22. it's the Mayberry equivalent with a lot of Apple Orchards

and a VERY affluent town! :rofl:

I had the whole office (and Mrs Matcom's office) crying with laughter all day over this.

[Ellen Forradalom]

24. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

[Lil Missy]

25. LOL! You put that cat in your pants, didn't you?

Did he check your boxers for fur?

I'M CALLING CONGRESS! RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!

[Cabcere]

28. I had a friend in high school who was taking Spanish

and there were only about two phrases he deemed useful enough to employ in everyday life. One of them was "I have a cat in my pants." :eyes: :P (The other was "(insert boy's name here) is wearing a yellow dress.") I had weird friends. :P

[snacker]

26. That's funny.

My mother once drove to the grocery and back with a pan of brownies on her roof. She set them there to cool off and forgot all about them.

[warrior1]

27. You sould send this to Stephanie Miller show

Now I wonder what happened to the kitty.

[mainegreen]

29. You just betrayed america by letting him look in your car without a warrant.

Or so I've been told.

[matcom]

30. he didn't open the glove box or the console - he just peaked

around the inside to make sure I didn't have a cat. you kidding? me having a cop looking for a cat in my truck?

PRICELESS. I'll take that silly memory to the grave

[mainegreen]

32. It would have been even better if you did have a cat in the trunk.

"Oh officer, I don't know how that got there...."

:D

[IzaSparrow]

31. hahah

that's a funny story!

[Madrone]
