i swear officer, it's used for fishing
 
something that i never imagined happened to me on the way home from the office today. i'm sitting in my car at a stop light, and a police cruiser pulled up behind me. as i was sitting at the light, i picked up the danny body that i turned last night, and was looking over my work. i looked at the weight hole, the hook hole, and the thru-hole. i then put the plug to my lips, and blew some saw dust out of the thru hole. the whole time the cop behind me was watching, unbeknownst to me.

once the light turned green, i started to move, with the cop car behind me. i got about 1/8 of a mile, when the cop's lights come on, and i'm being pulled over. i know that i wasn't speeding, because of the amount of traffic behind me. i get out my license, registration, and insurance card, and wait for the cop to come up to my window. he does, asks for my documents, and then asks me where i'm coming from, and where i'm going to. i explain everything, he hands me my insurance card, and then asks me to get out of the car. i comply, not knowing why he's asking me to get out of the car, but i don't want to get him mad in case i did do something wrong.

at this point, another cop car pulls up, and that cop walks up to me, and searches me. i'm thinking to myself that i must match the description of someone that they are looking for, so that's why they are going thru these motions. the first cop asks me if i have any drugs in the car. i say no, and he asks for my consent to search my vehicle. i say sure, knock yourself out. the second cop stands with me, and runs my license to see if there are any warrants, etc. after about five minutes, the first cop comes to the back of my car, carrying the danny body and a small swimmer that i shaped in the summer. he asks me what these were. i told him that they are plug bodies. he asked me what a plug body was, and i told him that they were for fishing, and that after i painted them, that i would hang hooks off of it to catch stripers. he gave them to the second cop, and he looked at them, and started to laugh. the first cop had a quick pow-wow with the second cop, and they gave me my license and plugs back. the first cop explained that from where he was sitting, it looked like i had a bowl for smoking pot, and he couldn't believe that i would be examining it with him behind me. he said sorry for the inconvenience, and got back in his car. the second cop said that he fished quite a bit from his boat, but that he didn't use plugs a whole lot. he admired them for another few seconds, and then told me to have a good season, and left.

i thought that you guys would get a kick out of this. it made my day. :laugha:

Karl, i thought the same thing. they were both AYC, and the danny was just turned, so it still smells great. as you know, AYC is sort of similar to the smell of pot, and the one cop did smell it to check if it was a bowl. he was laughing though, because he knew that even though it does smell similar to a used bowl, it was for fishing.

by the way, the "hashed out" comment was good.

I have some stories like that from my younger days.. but we'll leave those untold for now :buds:

Bob Thomas 09-23-2005 01:46 PM

Now if I had been the cop, I would have confiscated both bodies! That's a classic story! :rotf2: :rotf2: :rotf2:

Nebe, I knew thats what you were going to say even before I got to your answer!!!!! How did I know that????

Redsoxticket 09-23-2005 03:13 PM

The plug used as a bong may be a good marketing product, $$$.

striprman 09-23-2005 03:37 PM

I guess if your into that sort of thing, it would be kinda a unique piece of "gear" :rotf3:

justplugit 09-23-2005 05:06 PM

That was really funny.The need for back up made it even funnier. :D

vineyardblues 09-23-2005 05:43 PM

the BFO plug :bgi:

piemma 09-24-2005 11:00 AM

Hysterical!! Now let me understand. We got robbers, murders, speeders, rapist, drug lords and these two cops are pulling over a guy with 2 plug bodies because they think he's smokin' dope...

nightfighter 09-24-2005 12:40 PM

Hmmm, might be seeing discarded Habs, Tattoo, and Salty bodies being sold at the local campus head shops??? What a way to recycle your bad blanks and discards! Whole story is too funny. AYC to boot.

Swimmer 09-24-2005 05:15 PM

Thats cool
 
Hey Doyle,
Thats a great story.

humphrys 09-29-2005 10:47 AM

I would embellish it some more and enter it into OTW fiction contest.

doyle007 09-29-2005 01:02 PM

humphrys, what's the prize for the OTW contest? i don't get the magazine (although i've been meaning to subscribe). i'm sure that i could embelish a little bit more and then enter something worth reading. and, because you suggested it, you are entitled to 4.3762109% of my prize, or a candy bar. your choice.

"as i was piloting my midnight black toyota celica that was built when seinfeld was premiering on television, i reached into the console between the gray fabric covered bucket seats. a cool mist hung in the air, and the dewey taste of fall could be tasted with every breath...." :heybaby:
