Anyone Ever Been Arrested in a MUG?

[Riverkilt]

Came to mind today since I now have 15 years sober. A miracle for an old drunk like me.

Anyway, to the point. Memory took me to one night many years ago where I was driving home from a Halloween party. I was quite drunk.

My costume that night was a trench coat and tennis shoes. Nothing else. It was a nudist club party and I went as a flasher.

I was pulled over by four highway patrol cars and a police helicopter. I'm "in the position" wearing my MUG (the trench coat) wondering what will become of me in jail dressed like this.

Suddenly, one of the officers apologizes for stopping me, says they're after a hold up get away car whose description matched mine, and left me there bewildered, but very grateful.

Remembering that incident, wondered if anyone actually had been arrested and arrived at their local jail kilted....?

And, of course, what happened then.

I've never been arrested period... thankfully. I'm not in the habit of puting myself in that position these days. There have been a couple of times many years ago that I was in no shape to drive home but I did... and got away with it. Just lucky I guess.

Never been arrested but I have experienced a feild sobriety test(funny thing was I was out of the vehicle when the cop came up on me.) I passed thank goodness.

Remember the kid who used to do the "Dude, you're getting a Dell" commercials? He was busted for marijuana, and was hauled off to jail in his kilt.

I've been a very good boy of late, so as far as getting arrested it has not crosssed my mind. But that does create some images that may be interesting.

So "Dude where's my kilt?" has a different meaning to me now.

I am touching wood as I type this - I knew my third hand would come in useful one day!! To date I have never been arrested, nor pulled over by the Police, so I cannot begin to imagine how I'd feel if it happened. No different to being in that situation but wearing trousers, I imagine. Seriously though: think of the ignominy of being carted off to prison dressed in trousers of all things!! Perish the thought!

Ham, you sure know how to make the important points.

I've never been arrested in a mug but I once got a warning when I was in my cups.

Hmmm ... does "wood" mean the same thing in Queen's English as it does in the States? If so, I am shocked by your explicitness. If this raunchy demeanor of yours does not change, I shall be forced to request your removal from this forum!

BTW, how much wood were you touching?
