Here's an excellent example of "Just another Day in Los Angeles". I live at the base of the Hollywood Hills (a nice neighborhood) and heard a police helicopter circling above last night. I decided to go out and check. They were shinning a light on the next block. I waited to make sure the light wasn't going into my backyard and then went in a few minutes later. The copter left in about 5 minutes. Tigger wanted to go for a walk 20 minutes later (and when that dog wants to go for a walk, you better take him for a walk). We ended up going to the block where the light was shinning and there was a bunch of cop cars. One of the cops had just lit up some flares and was standing there...here's the conversation that ensued:
Dave: Hey dude! What's going on?
Cop: Oh, some guy took too many drugs and decided to run down the street naked.
Dave: What?
Me: Are you serious?
Cop: Does it look like I'm in the position to be joking?
Dave: No, it's just that that's a little unusual around here.
Cop: Not in my world it isn't.
[laughter]
Me: Did you catch him?
Cop: Yep, he got off the bus and ran around, we got the call and apprehended him
Dave: Well, at least he didn't have any weapons hidden on him.
[Cop does a slight double take and smirked)
Cop: Ya, that's true. But he tried to break into a few places to hide from us.
[looks to the right and sees some cars heading our way]
Cop: Well, thanks for talking, have a good night.
Me and Dave: Thanks!
[walk away laughing]
We had a good 30 minutes of just going off on the situation. Like, did he get on the bus naked? Did the dude just get naked on the bus and ring for his stop...get off the bus and then run around. Did he stop into the market for something to eat first...while naked? When they asked him to pay did he say "Oh darn, I left my wallet on the bus!"
What's even better is the only bus stop by that street is at the "Franklin Strip" (really) where there are bars and shops...EVERYONE must have saw the dude!
Alternate Conversations:
1. Cop: Oh, some guy took too many drugs and decided to run down the street naked.
Me: Wow! That must be some good drugs...does he have any left?
: starts to walk towards the dude :
2. Cop: Oh, some guy took too many drugs and decided to run down the street naked.
:: I walk up to his cop car and cup my hands looking into the back seat ::
Me: Is he in hear? Wow is that a shot gun? Can I play with it?
Dave: Hey dude! What's going on?
Cop: Oh, some guy took too many drugs and decided to run down the street naked.
Dave: What?
Me: Are you serious?
Cop: Does it look like I'm in the position to be joking?
