made the cops speechless

We once used to have neighbours that threw pots and pans and dishes at eachother. They were both drunks, the man a building labourer (construction worker), and the woman a platform sweeper on the railways, despite her college degree. Or at least that was what the other neighbours told us about them, although the man wore a 'donkey jacket' and we saw the woman in British Rail uniform, so it's probably right. Don't know how that turned out, because we moved (not because of them).

I hear that acreage on the moon is relatively cheap, but the commute is a killer.

I live on 88 acres of mostly wooded land. I probably couldn't reach my nearest human neighbors with an English long bow.In fact, there are very few who even know my house is here. But, the Black Angus cows across the dirt lane do seem to get a bit noisy on occasion.

so he was like "uuuhhh uhh sir did you see or hear anything" i told him what i saw and heard he says thanks and have a nice day... as he's walking away he turns and chuckles then says "nice kilt" lol

Would be even better if they were filming for Cops. Were they?

The OP reminded me of one Christmas season when I was crossing into the US and a group of snowboarder kids were rousted out of the van in front of me and herded dazed and confused into the Customs building. They were all sort of stumbling, and with a generally smoky air about them, they had the general look of cold weather extras for a Cheech and Chong movie- and the punchline was that the last one of them to get out had two radically different items of footwear on his feet, I think a white tennis shoe on one foot and a black boot on the other. The van was then moved off quickly so when I got to the gate I was still laughing away and in the dangerous situation of either (1) looking crazy (2) looking guilty, or (3) appearing to disrespect the dignity of the CBP officer- so I had to stammer out a quick explanation. But I sure wished those Canadian stoner guys luck on entering the USA, or, possibly, staying out of jail.

I must say that when I saw the title of this thread I thought that the cop knocking on your door was going to be a female officer and that you left her speechless when you answered in your kilt. It was a fun thought anyway!

**Mathuna** · 30th January 11, 08:59 AM

I still have neighbors like that. When they moved in I didn't know what her name was, but found out quickly that his name was RYYYAAAANN!!!

I thought of the OP when I was in a tough neighbourhood two weekends ago, still air temp was -27, and saw an otherwise sane and well kempt looking young guy coming towards me with one white shoe and one black boot on. Possibly the brother of the lad I described seeing at US Customs, or his doppleganger. Or some new fashion that's getting a rather slow start.
