Her Handcuffs Were Ready

'Luck' is a fickle lady, who dishes the good, and the bad, with (some might say), impartial equilibrium.
....................................................................

He was driving into the parking lot of one of those large 'hardware stores', when he heard the familiar, yet panic inducing, twin siren blasts, from a police car, which had pulled up - right behind him. He stopped his car, lowered his windows, and turned off the engine. He adjusted his tie and looked into his rearview mirror, as the attractive blond, pony tailed, female officer, opened her door, and strutted over. 'Oh... My... Gosh.', he thought to himself.

He considered what problems there could be, however, nothing came to mind. Casually, the blue eyed, beauty with the big badge, and bulging gun belt, leaned toward his window.

"Did you know that you were driving with your right rear passenger door slightly open?"

And she was right ! He should have noticed the lights on his dash, but, the brilliant yellow glare from the setting sun, had been blinding him.

"Thanks. I hadn't noticed. Thank you... very much ! ", he stammered nervously.

She tipped her hat, nodded, and slowly walked back to her blue and white cruiser.

Relieved, he opened his door, walked to the back of his car and opened up the right rear passenger door. fell, the full beer can he'd just been drinking, and a plastic bag containing another five empty cans. They clanged to the ground.

The cheerful blond officer, was just reaching her door, when she turned around. Her view of the trash and the beer can, was blocked, but she'd heard the clatter.

"You'd better pick that stuff up, or I'll have to give you a citation for littering."

She laughed and adjusted her gun belt then slipped into her driver's seat, started her engine and veered right. She stopped a hundred yards (or so) away, in that half empty parking lot, and... well, she continued to do - whatever police do when they're not chasing 'bad guys'.

He quickly picked up the dripping beer can, threw the plastic bag of empties in the back seat, slammed the rear passenger door, then scurried to his side of the car, and ducked in behind the steering wheel. He looked around furtively. 'Ooooo... That was close.', he thought to himself as he lowered his head and took a large sip of the (still chilled) beer.

He started his engine and adjusted his mirror, when suddenly, he heard the aganizingly loud and painful sound of - screeching brakes and metal, crunching metal. His car shook violently. He looked up to see that he'd just been 'rear ended', by one of those monster S.U.V. s. The police car parked in the distance flashed it's lights, 'beeped' it's siren twice and slowly, approached his crash site.

"Oh great ! This is just fucking great !", he exclaimed.

He looked at the beer he grasped in his hand, and wondered where he might hide it. At that moment, the driver of that S.U.V. stumbled of his truck and staggered toward his open window.

"Hey buddy. really sorry man. I didn't notice you were stopped. Yeah... I didn't notice... ."

'Holy shit ! This guy is drunk as a skunk.', he realized. He very gently, placed his beer can, his seat, popped a mint gum into his mouth and confidently stepped out of his car, to greet the approaching police car. A large smile gradually beamed across his .

So...

Do you consider yourself lucky?

Have you (or someone you know), ever been able to talk your way of a 'situation', with any type of authorities; police, airport, border, principal, crossing guard, etc... ?

I have managed to have good luck on many occasions. However, I believe that you can make your own luck, by preparing yourself to be in the right place at the right time, with the right tools.

I have talked my way out of a few tickets. Seems that politeness and a gentle way - works best with people of authority. Oh... and being a convincing fibber doesn't hurt... I've matured, since then... Lol

Oh.... I won $3,000 once, many years ago, on a Lotto ticket. I got excited and thought I was on a 'winning steak'. Uhhh... That streak ended with that win. I won $10 yesterday. Perhaps my streak is back?

When you get stopped do your legs shake so badly you cant use the clutch??
I got pulled over on the toll highway doing 95 in a 60 in my brand new Tercel 5 speed. I could have gone to jail on the spot and had my car impounded.
Got a warning only - luck and a shaky hand bailed me out

My gosh, you are full of surprises. You... Speeding? Eeee.. Lol. I do (did, because I've reformed), get nervous- especially if I knew I was guilty. I do have an innocent disposition thiyg thoug, so I'm able to look sympathetic. I feel as if you probably have that way about you, as well!

Never had to talk my way out of anything.

My cousin used to burst into tears to get out of a traffic ticket.

My parking lot incident had a much ‘naughtier’ twist. Was embarrassed and very relieved when a ticket was not issued.
