I'd had a letter from the police...
Due to me being witness to a crime. On the top of the letter was the Met badge et al. The letter went in my wallet and was forgotten about.

Some time later my (huge as in tall and broad) friend and I were going to get royally plastered. We chose a bad pub to be in if it kicked off, and all knew it. Four pints of guinness ordered (two to be poured during the drinking of the first two) and I opened my wallet to pay. Mr barkeep spotted the letterhead and asks if we were police.

Simultaneously;
Me "No!"
Friend "Yes!"

A moment later;
Me "Yes!"
Friend "No!"

Barkeep; "Well, have these on me before you decide."

Hahaha! That's brilliant, that is.
This QOTW is already a mile better than the last.

Thanks!
I dread to think how far I could have gotten away with things if I had the cajones.

He's not a real policeman
He's just had too much coffee

Sadly, as the answer implies,
I wasn't the sharpest tool in the box that night!
Cheers though.
