Just in from work a litte while ago, Have eaten and am now relaxing with a burbon and coke befor bed.
Ran into a DUI check point on my way home. Came round a turn and saw all kinds of flashing lights.Patrol car spot lights and waiving flash lights. At first I did not know what the heck was going on. So I stop about hundred feet short of it. then i realized one of the flash lights was waiving me forward. So i buckled my seat belt and continued.
Once I got close enough to see the sign saying "Sobriety Spot Check" I could see the out line of a human figure so back lit I could barely make out she was motioning where she wanted me to stop.
I pull to that point and stop roll down the window. Lady cop is shining flashlight all over inside of vehicle. And says "good evening sir, this is a sobriety check point,why did you stop so far back?" I said "Because the lights blinded me I could not figure out what was going on,thought aliens had landed or somthing". That got a laugh I thougt wow I just made a CT State Trooper giggle.That's impossable.
Then she says "Have you been drinking tonight?" I said "No ma'am, I just got out of work and havnt been to the bar yet." She says "YET?" and starts laughin again. I said "Sorry i'm just joking.I'm on my way home". She says "ok get out of here". Still wish I could have seen her face but it was like talking to a shadow. Just want to know If i left her smiling or not.
Most fun I ever had at a state police check point.And the first time I ever heard a Trooper laugh.
Hmmm now that I think of it. I'm only assuming they where
state and not city cops. Lights where so bright I could not see the uniforms. Anyway i was honestly glad to see them out.
