The PoliceSitting in my local pub late one night enjoying the landlord's flexible idea of what constitutes his licencing hours, a bunch of drunk blokes in raincoats burst in. Requesting to be served, one shouted at the barman "It's alright - we're not coppers!"
They were spitting images of Lt. Columbo to a man. The barman laughed them out of the pub.

A story in 'Q' magazine a few years agoconcerning Jon Anderson of 'Yes'. Nothing to do with me but found it amusing. Roughly,
"I'm driving down the Florida Turnpike, not paying a great deal of attention to my speed, and the next thing I know I'm getting pulled over by the cops. I get out of the car to greet the cop and he walks up to me and says 'licence and registration'. I replied that I didn't have it. 'OK, let's see some ID'. I didn't have any ID on me but as we were doing very well in the States at the time I said 'I don't have any ID, but you might know me - I'm Jon Anderson from 'Yes'. The cop replies 'ok, if you're Jon Anderson what was the name of your last single. 'Easy', I reply, 'Owner Of A Lonely Heart'. 'Okaaaaay', says the cop, 'If you're Jon Anderson sing Owner Of A Lonely Heart'. So I stood there at the side of the road and sang the whole of Owner Of A Lonely Heart while the guy looks on with a big smile on his face. When I finished he said 'Yep. You're Jon Anderson alright.' Then he booked me.
