Ha. I love watching people when a cop car is around. They always drive five miles under the speed limit and stay squarely in their own lane.
Last night, I was at a stop light. A police car was in the left lane. A truck was in front of me and wanted to turn right. I’ve never seen anyone take more precaution with a right turn on red.
I know the driver was thinking “Is this legal? I think this is legal. I’m not quite so sure it’s legal. It’s legal. I’m going. Slowly….slowly….okay. Turn right. Now. I mean it this time. This is legal.” Finally, he turned.
I guarantee he was flustered after turning, too. “Is the cop car coming? Do you see any lights? Somebody just turned. It’s the cops! Oh wait, it’s a Pinto.”
Not that I’m Mr. Cocky when police cars are around. It’s best to be extra cautious when you’re driving near a police car. Better safe than sorry. You never know if the cop is going to be Michael Chiklis as Vic Mackey or Michael Chiklis as the huggable Tony Scali.
You also never know if the cop is similar to the unstoppable Walker, Texas Ranger played by 7 time World Karate Champion, and Sidekicks co-star Chuck Norris. Of course it would be easy to tell because the cop would be driving a giant pickup truck and wearing a cowboy hat. He would also be accompanied by African American cowboy cop Trebet.
Good point Wolf Buddy. I would also like to point out that Walker, Texas Ranger could kick the crap out of The Commish. Vic Mackey might be another story, but seriously folks, look at how ugly his son was on that show! Not to mention the fact that Chuck Norris also sings the theme song to Walker.
“Because the eyes of a ranger are upon you…”
(part of the theme song for you non-Walker fans)
