PholkTales: Run-ins With the Law
This happened a few days ago, at Trey at IC Light in Pittsburgh. I live in steeltown and the cops are generally ok, but there are a few of the typical types that got picked on in high school and like to take it out on people that know how to have a good time. 

Anyway, i'm just arriving in the lot after burning a few j's on the way, and me and my buddies see city cops going around making people dump out their beers. I was captain morgan's first mate at the time and wanted to enjoy a few suds before i'd have to pay $7 in the show, so i went up to the cops to ask them if we could drink as long as it wasn't bottles and we stayed by our cars. The cops immediately made me pour out my beer, and i politely obliged b/c i always go by the golden "politeness with the pigs" rule. 

So i pour out my beer and say have a good one, when the cop goes, "wait!! i smell herb!" i looked him in the eye and said, "no ya don't," and turned around and walked away. i know most cops aren't typically happy with responses like that, but i was hammered and it was my first reaction. 

luckily, i wasn't followed and was able to go on and have a great fucking show. trey and crew really have their shit together. i wouldn't suggest my methods of pig aversion to anyone else, but thought it was a bit amusing. peace.
