» Breakin' The Law

Me and my mate were driving along one day
I was in my car and my mate was in his. My mate use to own a Holden Gemini (an Australian car - bit of a bomb) and it would cop a beating. Every panel on it was dinted. Planning to have a bit of a laugh I drive up next to his car and stick an axe handle out the window, swinging it at his car. We were driving along a major road and there were plenty of people around. You can imagine what they were thinking! Knowing my luck a couple of cars back is an unmarked police car. Before I know it there is a blue flashing light behind me. Knowing it was just a pratical joke so I promptly pull over and jump out of my car to explain this to the two police officers. Of course they had no idea it was a practical joke and took my advance towards them as an aggresive move on my part. They then proceeded to pull out their firearms shouting at me "GET YOUR HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM". Stunned I did just that. Next I know I'm standing on the side of a major road with my hands on the roof of my car with two police officers around me. Quite a sight for my mate who saw me getting pulled over and pulled over himself. Meanwhile I am trying to explain what has happened to the irate police officer who is screaming at me things like "DID I SAY YOU COULD SPEAK", "YOU'RE GOING TO F'IN JAIL PUNK" and "WE'RE F'IN DETECTIVES, WE DON'T PULL PEOPLE OVER FOR F'IN TRAFFIC OFFENCES". Luckily for me my mate came down to explain things, at which point the cops turned on him shouting things like "WHO F'IN INVITED YOU TO THE PARTY". Anyway after a while they realise that I'm not armed and I am not going to attack them so one cop questions me while the other questions my mate. They then swap over and realise that it was just a stupid prank. Tell me how stupid it was and how if I had of taken another step towards them I would of had a bullet in my chest. It has remained one of those stories that gets told over and over in our group of friends.
