Driving Under the Influence of. . .

Last night I was driving home from Bunco at about 11:40ish. I was on an expressway, in the left lane. There was only one car, but pretty far behind me. Suddenly, I saw a sign for the freeway and it occurred to me that I could hop on and perhaps get home a little faster. I signaled, changed 4 lanes at once (I know, my bad, but seriously the road was pretty dang empty, though obviously not empty enough) and headed for the freeway on-ramp. I thought the first on-ramp headed northbound so I was about to get on it but at the last second realized I was wrong. So, I got out of that lane and waited for the sign that said northbound. As I was just barely turning to get onto the freeway, flashing lights appeared in my rear view mirror. Dangit. But I figured I'd just explain that I hadn't driven in this area in a long time and was going home a new way and was a little confused about which lane to get in. So, the cop gets out and I grab my purse to have my ID handy. I roll down my window and say "Hi" and he says "Hi". And THEN he says, "How much marijuana have you been smoking tonight?" I was a little bit shocked. Wouldn't THAT have been a novel Bunco appetizer!? People would REALLY think Bunco was sinful:) I said, "Marijuana? No marijuana." And he was like, "Really? Because when you rolled down your window I smelled a huge whiff of weed." Did he realize who he just pulled over? Seriously, I once called my OB in a panic to be sure that the herbs in the Ricola cough drops I just took wouldn't damage my unborn baby. Now, I'm sure it's not polite or smart to laugh in a cop's face so I bit my tongue hard. But, he was relentless and proceeded to shine a light in my eyes to see if I was on something. He asked, "Do you have any marijuana in your car?" and shined the flashlight around the inside of my car. I said "nope." He checked my ID and rebuked me for changing 4 lanes all at once and for driving "erratically" but said he'd give me a break and not cite me. And he finally gave up and said, "Well, maybe the smell was a skunk in the bush or something." Uh. Yeah. Right.
