Thread: A Funny Thing Happened...

A funny thing happened Saturday morning. I was in full "Tribal Cannibal" make-up, black and white face, wearing my skull and crossbone boxers over a pair of black tights (I didn't have my grass skirt on yet, it's impossible to drive in it), driving to work at the Costume Shop in my Corvette. I'd only gotten a block from the house and I saw the Sheriff coming from the opposite direction. I thought I turned the corner before he saw me, but another block and the lights were on the cop car! He was very tentative coming up to the car, I grabbed my name tag and said "I'm going to work! I'm not coming from a party!" I gave him my license registration and insurance and asked what the problem was. He said I didn't have a front plate, which I don't, but I know he was just curious about what he was seeing. He let me go and said "Umm, Happy Costuming!"

Here's what I was thinking, but not saying:
I'm from Chicago where the cops used to say "It's about lunchtime" and you gave them $20 and they went away. So, I was waiting for him to say it's about lunchtime and I, the Cannibal, was going to say, yes, I'm getting hungry and I love men in uniform! LOL.

Tee hee hee -- that would have been priceless!!
