» The Police II

Nevada's finest
Few months ago I was in Vegas, just hired a car and was driving down Flamingo Road when I hit another car. Entirely my fault, we pulled into a car park to wait for the cops. The guy I hit was pretty relaxed about the whole thing, mistakes happen, that's what insurance is for. When the cops turn up, one took my version of the story, one took the other guys and then took his details before letting him on his way, then started taking mine. The cop who was giving me th ticket started taking my details from my New Zealand driving licence. He was entering them into his little computer when he looked up all confused and asked "is New Zealand a country?" His partner looked stunned and sarcastically replied "its in Germany" (an odd answer, but off the cuff so quite good). Cop number one shrugged and carried on. When he gave me my ticket my address was printed as

New Zealand
Germany.

I didn't bother paying it.
