[BaadAssGremlins] re: What Did You Do on Your AMC this weekend?

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What I thought was ironic about this below is that last week we had a bank robbery at 
Chase location here in Houston, in which hostages taken & ensuing FIVE hour standoff:

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=7873314

my own bank, Chase at corner of Bunker Hill & I-10 was robbed several weeks ago......and 
had been there with kids same day!

So there was 5-10 cop cars parked either side under overpass, and cops passing out tickets 
like policeman's ball. Walking in and out of traffic....at this particular 
intersection.....counting HOV & turn lanes it is 19-20 lanes across....granted they were 
in the underpasses but walking out into traffic when light turned red!

I though the wafting smell of fresh Shipley's donuts I had bought for kids would be more 
than enough to ovewhelm their senses and hypnotized them but didn't work as mentioned, the 
cop only came to my window and asked for license....if he had gotten closer I would have 
opened the box of warm cake, cherry icing with sprinkles, apple filled and regular donuts 
and he would have been in my power. I would have tossed them onto the ground and watched 
the melee between cops and pigeons and homeless battle over it while I layed scratch (with 
one tire) out of there. It would have been ugly but I would have lost only box of fresh 
donuts.

"Eddie, It's Texas!  How can you not have an insurance card in the car??  In Dallas and 
Carrollton, if you don't have proof of insurance, your car gets towed on the spot and 
you're left at the curb.  I'm surprised they don't do that down there too."

I only had credit card, driver license & box of delecious fresh donuts on me. I could have 
called wife a mile away & told her to bring insurance, but didn't even realize that was on 
the ticket until I got home. No big deal, have policy here to show judge. I might even 
take fresh box of donuts downtown to police headquarters and court when I go.

I might just lather myself down with donut scented perfume and could easily overwhelm 
whole building full of cops:

the downside is the cops might be in heat and last place you want that to happen is a nest 
of them.
