Tree's a Crowd
In 1997, Kelly and I were pulled over by the police on Halloween night. We had just come from a costume party in which I was dressed as a Hell’s Angel biker and Kelly was a cute little pink piggy.
As the cop slowly walked up to the car, I was so nervous. I had both hands on the steering wheel as he shined his flashlight in our vehicle. Then he said to me, “Have you had anything to drink?”
I said, “No sir”.
He looked in the car again, flashed his light on the passenger side and said, “What about the pig?”
