DUI

Have you ever been pulled over for driving drunk? Well I can now say I have. I was driving home last night and it was late. I was by the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon going South, and there was a car FLYING by going East (right by that 7-11 on the corner). This car slammed on his breaks and ended halfway in the middle of my lane. I flipped to the other lane, and when I passed the car, I switched back. I hadn't passed the 7's parking lot when behind me flashing lights turned on. Yes, that stupid car was a cop. I sat in my car for 12 minutes 'till the cop finally came to my window.

He looked at me, and asked "Miss have you had a little to drink this evening?" WHAT!? I thought he was kidding, but trust me, he wasn't! I must have looked perplexed because he countered with "You were swerving all over the lanes out there." Hmm probably because he was going to hit my car!

While he said this, he shined his flashlight right into my eyes, to which I wanted to say, 'yep, look at 'em, no pupil dilation, no red eyes, nothin'!'

I looked him square in the eyes and said no, I hadn't drunken ANYTHING.

He again asked me, "You're sure, you haven't drunken anything tonight?" He obviously didn't get it, so I answered,

"Well I've had some WATER!"

"Water, you're sure that's it?" (I had some chocolate milk too...)

"Yep that's it."

He proceeded to ask me for my license and registration to which I obliged. Ten minutes later he returned (sucks when a person has NO tickets or record of anything!). "Alright you seem alright but you were swerving everywhere out there, are you a little tired? Well drive safely."

I really wanted to ask him if he wanted me to walk on the road line, or say the alphabet backwards, 'cause pretty sure I don't even drink soda thank you very much!

So the next time you drink water and get in your car, be careful because you could be pulled over for DRINKING & DRIVING!
