'Tis Was The 80's
I lived in a flat in Hulme in Manchester where the flat motto was "Too Much Is Just Enough".

Dope(weed), beer(me and Denty mainly), speed( tried it three times - didn't like it) and acid. LSD. Dear God, we were off our tits on a regular basis once we found acid.

(ASIDE: Over a 2 year period I reckon that we dropped about three times a week. Even now, I'm still tempted to put an ad in the Evening News asking anyone who knew me during that period to get in touch and tell me what I'd done....)

But, I digress..

So this one time ( In band camp ) we dropped three tabs of acid each. Me, Joe The Maltese and Pisshead Paul.

To cut a long story short, we ended up walking down Oxford Street, tripping off our tits when we spied two coppers, on the same side of the street to us, walking directly towards us.


I was in the middle of our trio.

I didn't want to get nicked so I looked left to Pissshead Paul and said:

"We gotta act straight"

Pushing home the the point by bringing my clenched fists, with my elbows tight to my body, and hammering down with every word.

Then, I turned to my left and told Joe The Maltese, that we:

"Gotta act straight..."

So, the three of us ended up walking towards the coppers, chanting in unison, arms pumping up and down:

WE GOTTA ACT STRAIGHT
WE GOTTA ACT STRAIGHT
WE GOTTA ACT STRAIGHT

God knows why they didn't nick us...



Cheers

Acid does that to a person...
I have similar stories involving air guns and destruction...

Maybe because
they thought you were gay and they thought it hilarious that you were trying to act hetero?

Or maybe they were just scared...
