Early this morning, there was a rather heated argument pretty much in my backyard. Apparently, it was two brothers... Phil and Johnny. I'd never seen them before, but they used each other's name with distressing frequency.
Someone -- not me -- called the police.
The police basically told the brothers to shut up, get over it and go home. The brothers agreed and the police left.
Phil said, "That was close, dude. I'm carrying a lot of drugs. Let's get out of here and get stoned."
Johnny was more interested in continuing the argument.
The cops in this town are usually pretty decent the first time around. But when they come back to a scene the second time, there's going to be trouble and they're going to win.
All of sudden, there were cops everywhere. "Don't you guys f*****g listen?" one of the cops said. To which Johnny replied, "Not to you m***********s." The words were barely out of his mouth before Johnny was up against a police car getting cuffed.
The police told Phil, the unlicensed pharmacist, to stay quiet and he'd be okay. What would you do in that circumstance? Trust me, you wouldn't have done what Phil did. He said, "Yeah, you guys think you're so tough, but you don't have enough balls to try to arrest me," and then, for effect, struck a menacing pose.
Appropriately enough, the female officer on the scene did the initial takedown... the other officers did the full wrist-ankle shackle thing.
I'm guessing that as Phil was being given a ride to the police station, two thoughts occurred to him. One, "I'm being taken to the police station." Two, "I'm carrying a lot of drugs."
Which had to lead to a third thought: "I'm one special kind of stupid."
