Luckiest moments - sort of Junkie Jesus but with cops
For some reason I was just reminded of something that happened years ago when I was pulled over.
I thought to myself, "Oh, shit. This is it." Let's just say the timing would not have been ideal for a search and I was already starting to sweat and look guilty as hell. Just as the cop came up to my window, a bee landed on my side view mirror.
Before I said anything else to the cop, before he said anything to me I said, "Be careful, officer. There's a bee right there on the side view mirror."
To give myself credit, I did that out of genuine concern. A friend of mine was deathly allergic to bee stings, so I knew how dangerous they could be.
But when I said that -- that cop turned white as a ghost and stepped back -- he was TERRIFIED. He started speedwalking back to his car and called over his shoulder, "Your registration is expired," before getting into his vehicle and driving away.
It was so weird.
I guess he was allergic to bees or scared of bees or something because nothing, not even my crappy car that practically screamed "Probable Cause" was going to prevent him from getting as far away from that bee as possible.
And that, my friends, was a very lucky break for me. I guess the gods sent that bee or something.
Does anyone else have any stories of lucky breaks?
