l rrHE kindest thing that could be said about my
X' relationship with the police department is that
' it has been unfortunate.
I'm not a hardened criminal, you understand.
Just a little stupid.'
Things got off to a poor start and so did I at the
age of 17 when I took my driver's examination. I
was so nervous and the policeman was so hand
some that I killed the engine in an intersection.
Then I forgot how to shift gears. He issued the
license, I believe, because he was terrified ever
-.' to ride with me again.
A few years later, I noted a car behind me at a
t ramlly Weekly, FebftMrv II, IMI
14 remlly Weekly, Pebnsery tl. IMI
stop sign. In mental myopia, I mistook the uni
forms. So I speeded through several blocks before
I began to hear something which wasn't the mating
call of a marine.
"Serves her right," remarked one of the children
who saw me get a ticket It did, too, but how do
you tell a policeman you thought he was a
masher? "
Until I acquired a parking spot, I collected top
honors one year from the police station for over
time tickets. I parked on the street every morning
and forgot all about the meter. The motorcycle
policeman never did.
The epitome of my reluctant association with the
boys in blue came the evening I took a cooling ride
in my car. I didn't plan to get out because I was
wearing a blouse, Bermuda shorts, and bedroom '
slippers. The traffic was heavy. So was the impact
of the car which turned into mine.
While I crouched against my battered car, yank
ing away at my garments, the police arrived. They
observed my driver's license and wanted to know
if I had another one.
"Do you need two now?" I said haughtily.
"This one expired last year," they haughtied
right back.
My assailant laughed all the way to his insurance
company. I cried all the way to the police station.
I've always had a not-so-secret crush on the
police chief in our town, but it has reached the point
where I'm afraid to speak when we meet
I think my tickets are showing.
