Cop: “Do you have any idea how fast you were going son?”

Me: “Sorry officer…I have no clue.”

Cop: “Quite a bit faster than the speed limit. Any reason why you’re going so fast this early in the morning?”

Me: “Well, do you want the truth?”

Cop: “Ideally.”

Me: “I was listening to a song that got really intense and I didn’t realize my foot was getting as heavy as the music.”

Cop: “Right…and what were you listening to?”

Me: “Uh…well…you ever hear of Umphrey’s McGee?”

Cop: “….seriously?”

Me: “…guess not –“

Cop: “THAT’S MY FAVORITE BAND!! What song and what show!?”

Me: “….wait — WHAT?!”

Cop: “What were you listening to??”

Me: “Penn’s Peak–

Cop: “HIGGINS JAM?!”

Me: “Dude….what is happening right now….YES!!”

Cop: “Wow. I guess I understand then…I was at that show — easily my favorite Higgins jam. I’d talk tunes all morning but it’s probably better I get goin — do me a favor and if you want to speed to these guys, do so at the gig, not on the road. Drive SLOW and safely and have a nice day!”

Me: “….wow, thank you?”
