It is 1:34am and there is a helecopter hovering over my house. |
|
for the last 5 or 6 minutes.
In the dark? They don't have a search light on. My street is not loaded with cops.
Is it creeping me out.

6. 7 minutes later and they are still there |
|
Dang it - left my tin foil hat in the other room. Maybe I should go out in the front yard and show them my bed head. That'll scare um off.
I didn't even know a chopper could just sit in one spot for that long.

5. Are you smoking a joint? |
|
That's probably why.
We may be experiencing budget cuts and austerity measures, but we can still fund helicopters and swat teams at $1 Million an hour to bust pot smokers.

16. It was probably a news helicopter |
|
Is there a major road near you? After the hurricane on the east coast there was one hovering nearby my house because route 9 was flooded in a section. Probably a news traffic heli. Or a police heli monitoring the end of a police chase or accident.

18. As long as your name is not Bin Laden....... |
|
....you are probably okay. With a little luck they only wreck your house and hold you at gunpoint for a few hours. Happens all the time. No biggie.
