My first ride in a police paddy wagon
No, I was not under arrest. It was not because I had committed any crime! I was at work, my shift had finished, the boys in blue had brought a psych. patient in - some crazy woman who had overdosed on 40 panadiene forte?? and were hanging around twiddling their thumbs. My car was parked far away down a very dark street in a very unsafe neighbourhood. I asked if one of them could walk me to my car, they said yeah, sure. The chivalrous one and myself stepped outside and it was still pouring down rain. So he says. "Stuff the rain, I'll give you a ride!" The ride lasted all of 20 seconds, but hey, now I can say I've been in a police vehicle, all because it was raining and he didn't want to get wet! Heehee! I'm just glad that it wasn't in the back!
