I have a story for the ages that i’ve never written down. I guess I shouldn’t write this but whatever.
I was going to a club in the city on a Thursday. It was a long running club night at a gay bar and it was the non gay night of the week. It was still pretty gay but there were mad girls there every week. They sort of turned a blind eye on drugs too. I won’t say the name of the place but let’s call it “Mlub Carchellas”. I was early20smth years old.
Somehow we end up at my parents house with a few of my friends, psyched to go to the club. We were stoned and needed a ride, so I asked my parents and they loaned me theirs. I get the keys and we get adjusted into the car and drive out of the fortress that is the small town city I live in. There are about 7 blocks to the edge of where I live, so it’s not a big deal if the cops are normal people. As soon as I pull off my street a cop gets behind me. There are 4 people in my parents car and there is a huge bag of crystal meth in my pocket. Foreseeing all this in the rear view I decide to put all this in my sock. By the time I get back up the cops has his lights on and we all have our crystal meth in our socks. We are all baked out of our minds and I pull over. The officer comes to the window.
Officer Dumbass - Where are you going?
Me - We are going downtown to Mlub Carchellas (cop hears “gay club”).
Office Dumbass - Why?
Me - To hear some music. Can I ask what I did?
Office Dumbass - I saw you bending down, what was that?
Me - I was adjusting the lumbar (I point to the lumbar cushion on my seat because my parents need it or something. I am glad it was there because I was putting some bad ass Crystal Meth in my sock.)
Office Dumbass - Oh, can I see your license?
Me - (I reached into my wallet and hand the officer a crisp clean $5 bill because i’m fucking stoned out of my gourd and somehow it makes sense)
Office Dumbass - What is this?
Me - Oh, uhm I dunno?
Office Dumbass - Well that doesn’t look good, does it?
Me - No, actually it doesnt. (I handed him my license and he gave me back my $5 thinking it was a cheap bribe)
Officer Dumbass goes back to his car and runs my license but in the meantime i’m in my car and my friends are telling me that I am the dumbest person in the world. All I can do is tell my friends they’re right and listen to them list off the drugs they all have in their socks. I think I heard someone in the backseat say they would blow Jesus to get away this one time. Truth is I gave Office r Dumbass the $5 because it was the cost to get in the club. I have no idea why I gave it to him. I was stoned. Office Dumbass comes back for the final round..
Officer Dumbass - Ok have a good night. (He hands me my license)
Me - Thanks officer, take care.
He goes back to his car as we try to contain our excitement. He drives away as we sit in the car decompressing. I push the petal to the metal and we drive into the darkness doing rails of Crystal Meth in celebration. And that’s how I tried to bribe a cop with $5. I think I really put him in his place.
*Crystal Meth is actually bad but we we’re doing it. Stay away from it kids : /
