Yesterday we were pulled over by a state policeman. He had absolutely no reason to pull us over.
He said that "he thought we weren't wearing our seat belts," in a thick southern accent, butchering the English language as he sped on blabbering.
But we were wearing our seat belts and I've never been in trouble with the law. Maybe he didn't know what he was doing was illegal. In retrospect, I failed to mention to him how unconvincing his lie was. He was so curious! I guess your life story is needed along with liscence and registration.
Some people are so nosey that they would go through training to wear a uniform, carry a gun, and salute the flag just to pull you over with those blue lights flashing to get a closer look at my pretty face. Pff...
PROFILE:
- HENRY J. SHAW
- I was born and grew up in the Champlain Valley of Vermont, in a small city between Burlington and Middlebury, called Vergennes. I went to an alternative high school program, The Walden Project, after learning that traditional schooling didn't interest me. I have yet to attend college. Instead of applying, I got a job with Red House Inc., a local building company. I've worked there for 4 years. I took a leave of absence to go on a trip across the country. Now having returned, I left again -- this time solo to explore the many offerings of South America.
