After highschool a buddy and my self drove from Calgary to Orange county for a truck show. 2 things stick out from that trip.

One being a speeding ticket in Saltlake city. The officer was angry because he stopped us in the pooring rain, so he made us get out and sit in his car while he wrote the ticket. Here is part of the conversation between my buddy Ken and the officer.
Scene: officer swatting at fly buzzing around in patrol car.
Ken: back home we call those horse flys
Officer: Really, Whys that?
Ken : because their always buzzing around a horses ass
Officer: Are you calling me a horses ass?
Ken: No Sir, but you cant fool horse flys.

Had to go pay the fine right then and there.
Best money ever spent.

The second thing that sticks out was getting lost in Compton, 2 white guys in a lowered sherbert orange truck with Canadian plates. I was sure we were gonna get into some serious trouble.
