Last Thursday I put out one of my Bush/Cheney signs in my front
yard. Between midnight and 3:00 a.m. someone stole it. On Friday night I
put out sign No. 2. Since I didn't have to get up early, I thought my
dog and I would "stake out" our sign. This time I put the sign a
little
closer to the gate leading to my backyard. With my dog on an extra long
leash, I planted myself on a lawn chair and read "Unfit for Command"
by
flashlight until about 1:00 a.m. Here comes the fun part . . . I noticed
that the car coming down the street was slowing down and pulling over to
the curb right next to my yard. Sure enough, he gets out of his car and
heads right for my sign. Just as he was about to uproot and desecrate
it, I opened my gate and let my dog make the initial introduction! As he
ran to hide behind the rear end of his car, I promptly moved to the
driver-side door, which was still open. It was a fairly nice car with
power everything and still running. While my dog continued to
"introduce" herself, I rolled up the window and hit the power door
lock
button. With that, I slammed the door, grabbed my Bush sign and headed
into the back yard.
And now for the "rest of the story." About 40 minutes later, I
heard a
knock at the door. I opened the door to one of our city's finest . . .
the Vancouver Police Department. The officer asked me what was going on
and when I told him, he could not stop laughing! I followed him out to
the perp's car and stood there while he asked the guy a few more
questions. Upon learning that the guy lived a couple of streets down, I
-- knowing what was about to happen -- asked him, "Why do you have
Oregon plates on your car if you live just down the street (here in
Vancouver, Wash.)?"
Oregon has no sales tax, so often Washington residents will buy
and register cars in Oregon to avoid paying sales tax . . . it's a crime
and the fine is pretty stiff. Here comes the best part. . . . The look
on this guy's face told me he knew he was about to get busted. When the
officer asked for his license and registration, the "Democrat"
mumbled
that (his license) was suspended. Just for kicks and giggles I asked the
officer if he smelled any alcohol coming from the guy! The officer
looked at me, smiled and promptly gave him a field breathalyzer test.
Guess what? You got it, he blew a .10, legally drunk in the state of
Washington.
DUI, illegal registration and the brand of "MORON," all 'cause he
hates
Bush!
