I'll get him for that...........

Yesterday, I was walking down the street in my hometown (Seward, NE) to join my wife and some friends to watch the July 4th parade.

The Chief of Police pulled up beside me in a golf cart and said, "Hop in, I'll give you a ride". So I hopped in and we drove down the street, mostly commenting on a beautifully restored '56 T-Bird in front of us.

The Chief dropped me off in front of my wife, friends, and a bunch of other people, did a u-turn with the cart, pointed back at me and yelled, "From now on, you behave yourself!". He then drove off, laughing his tail off.

Actually, he's probably been waiting for a chance to do something like that for a couple of years, ever since I wrote a newpaper article rebutting some comments he and the County Sheriff made against concealed carry.
 
Revenge of the tom cat, by clawed b-lls. Sorry, that's an old saying. Have a nice day and don't worry about the POS.
 
Heck, sounds like you have a good relationship going!
He gave you a ride and a little ribbing. What's the problem?
After all, you said he was laughing!

Doesn't sound like he was too hard on you.
Every time somebody reports loose cattle our local cop comes over and drives down and checks my gates and tries to figure out if I'm the root of the problem. He won't let me forget the time, about ten years ago, when I had three steers come up missing when I didn't lock the gate. After a little romp around the neighborhood they came wondering home and walked up to the steer stuffer and started eating. Nothing gotten out since, but he wasn't going to let me forget it. But I am happy he's keeping an eye on things
 
It was all in fun. The Chief, the Sheriff, and I have all been friends for years.

In fact, I ended my newspaper article with, "No hard feelings, guys, you just have to have a little fun once in a while".
 
Goose, back in April my wife and I were on vacation in Nebraska (we had never been there before), touring all over the state. I really don't recall what the name of the small town was that we stopped for lunch, but after we were there for a while a county sheriff came in for a meal. He had uniform, duty belt, radio, handcuffs, but NO SIDEARM!! I told my wife that that is the place I would like to live, where law enforcement didn't see the need for a gun.
 
Like when I ran in to a guy at an auction standing in a crowd and said "finally made bail huh?". Thing was,he just did but I didn't know it.
 
I have a friend whose answering machine message begins with, "Yes, we know the cows are out. . ."
 

The cops are regular guys like you and I. our Chief and our Lieutenant give me a little ribbing now and then and they kiss up to me a little now and then.
