I never thought it was possible to be harassed by the police for drunk driving when you are drunk walking. No joke! Becca and I were just minding our own business, hoofing it down the street, when along come the cops in all their red white and blue glory. They pull over, get out of the car, and that's where the game begins.
"Good evening ladies."
"Hey dude!"
"Officer please, my name isn't dude."
"Sure thing man."
The officer shakes his head.
"Where is your designated driver tonight?"
"We don't have one."
"Well I'm pretty sure neither one of you are sober enough to drive."
"Oh I guarantee it! That's why we're not driving."
"Where's your car
"I don't know. Have you seen it?
"This is serious miss. Drunk driving can get you into big trouble."
"Dude, I'm not really following you. Have you been drinking?"
"That's not funny! "
"Becca's laughing so she thought it was funny."
This continued for a good 10 minutes or so before he finally buggered off and hopefully found some real crime. It's moments like these that make me pissed at myself for actually paying my taxes. Is the state of Michigan that hard up for money that they are now trying to arrest drunk walkers?

In a similar situation, a cop asked me if I was drunk. I said that I was too drunk to drive, but not too drunk to walk, and he took that as sass. He asked a few more pointless questions before I went on my way. (I was walking to a cab stand.)
