Doing a bit of work round the house today and ran short of cement so a mate and i jump in the ute and head into town to go to placemakers,all is good or so i thought until i get the flashing lights behind mei pull over and this copper gets out of his car
if hes a day hes only 18 and to top things off he looks the spitting image of that guy on the old Mad magazine cover,remember the one a ginga with freckles all over his face,he says "you didnt come to a complete stop at the stop sign" i say "your blind" he says "i am not blind" i say "you fucken are that was the phantom purple ute in front of me that didnt come to a complete stop" he replies "there was no ute in front of you"
i say "see mate you are blind" finding that amusing my mate starts laughing and ever hopeful i glance upward to find the copper showing no signs of even a fake smile:
Methinks he had the last laugh as when handing me the $150 ticket he finally gained a sense of humour.
