You've either lost a lot of toes in the Himalaya or you've been a naughty boy.
And it is not beyond the realm of possibility that it could be both.

you haven't tasted the full bitterness of incarceration till you find yourself doing time for some one else's deed.
i got convicted for eluding an officer and reckless driving, in two different courts even after the arresting officer testifying,
with emphasis, that i was arrested with a full beard 20 minutes after the perp, (seen clearly and reported as clean shaven,
by THAT officer) got away from the crash. rock springs, wyo.
i spilled the beans on my fellow rigworker after he beat me up for trying to collect on costs
and damage sustained during that unauthorized use of my motorcycle. forgery fugitive.
my cop, concerned for me, checked to make sure he would be extradited back to washington if they picked him up for assault.
...something in his record. spokane was happy to keep his 10k bail money. i guess no one thought to ask the bondsman.
it was somewhat galling to see him, the perp, rolling around town after that.
i wished i had poked his gf (the embezzeler) when she offered after court.
but at least i didn't lose my commercial license or my job,
or wind up in a shallow grave. oilfield trash.
frontier justice.
~~~
rock springs is the town where a federal agent, investigating what internal affairs declined to,
got assasinated in the back seat of the chief of police's car a few years before.
the chief and his driver were in the front seat.
really, i DO appreciate wyoming

Had a guy pounding on my truck window down a lonely dead end street one night yelling "get out of the veehicle."
I say thanks but no thanks, and prepare to floor it in reverse, when I look forward again and see the gun pointed at my head. My 'friend' in my truck said "didn't you see his badge?", I said "I didn't see no stinkin' badges!" and put my hands up!

Maybe you could get Jesse to deputize you, so you could arrest litterbugs at the FaceLift.

I'm up on genocide charges again, this time they are throwing in "Extinction of the dinosaurs" as my primary OFFENCE. Apparently there is a lot of fossilized evidence which could put me away for a very long time

And here I thought that SuperTopo is itself proof that dinosaurs are alive and well, and roaming on the earth at the same time as human beings.
And not because of what the creationist crackpots say.
But then, when I started climbing, p'terodactyls still nested on the Chief.

One time we got in really late to our campsite in upper pines and crashed out.
Next morning at 7:30 the rangers woke us up asking for our camping fee..no big deal,
My buddy goes to get his wallet from the truck, open's the door, and one of the rangers says " We got a gun! " (my buddy had a pistol in the door pocket) Both rangers pulled their guns and drew down on us..
They called in the serial # and it came back OK. They just gave us a warning not to carry firearms in the park, and took our camping fee.
Good thing they never searched the rest of the truck..

Crosspost to the thread you mention;
Nutjob, do you remember what hotel it was? We stayed in the Oktyaberskaya, when i was there for a youth exchange in '73... That same summer, if I have the story straight, Alexey, who grew up in Leningrad, was on a foreign exchange, stateside. Wish I'd kept up with my Russian like he's kept up with his english...

Here's a short story about the sordid arrest and endungeonment of celebrity movie star and rapper Ice Tea.
He was called in for defendant duty, but decided to fight the charges. And then he prevailed.
In effect, the DA asked Ice-T to pay a stupidity tax. But, he proved the tax had been erroneously assessed, and that he did not owe it.

In the early 80's I was scalping tickets to a Dodgers game on Academy Rd. when a cop wrote me up for obstructing traffic.
Being the responsible lad that I was I completely ignored and forgot about the ticket. One year later, I was trying to impress these two hot chicks at work and offered to get them some pot at a place we called Fort Bud in Hollywood. No sooner do I get out of the car and cross the street when a cruiser comes speeding up and two cops ordered me against the wall. After searching and questioning me they realized I was just some stupid kid and not one of the dealers. They run my name, and presto, failure to appear. On go the cuffs.
Now down at the Hollywood Wilcox station, packed alone into a tiny holding tank, the door opens. A cop bellows "FONDA? YOU 18?", "yes sir" I replied. "GOOD!". In stumbles this very drunken mexican chap. Finally the typical jail house conversation ensues and I explain my sad state of affairs. Well I just had to ask him what he did.
"Well, I was drinking in my car in front of this house with little girls playing in the front yard with out any pants on".
Fortunately my "virginity" remained in tact. Out on bail, $50 fine.
