Breakin' The Law'I'd taken some mushrooms in a pub,' writes Allen Smithee, 'and things had got a bit odd. People turning into goblins, barstools into toadstools etc. I wandered off from my friends and found myself in a carpark. I noticed a huge liquorice allsort driving towards me and Bertie Basset got out. I kinda realised that Bertie was a policeman and my brain went into paranoid fast forward. I decided that I must be being arrested and said, "I'll just get in the back of your car, Officer" Bertie looked at me with disgust, "Not bleeding likely sunshine. Just piss off home ok?"'

badgeI was driving in the US when I was working there (I'm British), and looking for a parking space, when I drove through a junction without realising. Not my fault obviously, they don't mark them properly or anything. There was a car coming from the left, and we then played the 'after-you-no-after-you' game, stopping and starting. Eventually I let the guy go. He stopped in front me, got out, opened his jacket to reveal the police badge (o shit) and I opened the window to a tirade. "WTF do you think you're doing? I put my life on the line every day etc etc.. something about humbugs... don't need this shit..."
I just crawled and said "sorry sir" which seemed to do the trick.
Not very exciting, but I did think I was going to be shot or end up in Camp X-Ray without trial.
