O.K., SO...
Monday night, I was at the group get-together with the Pirates of Reno (Argh, matey). A good time was had by all at Ryan's on Wells Ave.
However, I almost didn't make it. I actually thought that for awhile I would have been a *gasp* person of interest to the Sparks P.D.
Here's the skinny: I went to the Drive-Thru ATM machines on Oddie Blvd. And sitting there, blocking ALL the ATM Machines (all 4 of 'em, mates), was an Armoured Truck. It was representing a local business that performs cash deliveries/etc. I have agreed to not mention names, as they would find it embarassing. (hehehe) Well, anyways, I pull up, see everything blocked. I see one of the Armored Truck Employees working in the end ATM. So I roll down my window and say "hey, 'bout how long do you plan to be?" He turns around, sees me in my pirate gear, mates. Does a bit of a double take, and asks me "What are YOU supposed to be?" To which I reply"Uh, a Pirate!" out loud (and "DUH!" to myself" This....valued employee of the company, PULLS HIS FRIGGIN GUN ON ME! He starts to yell "GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE! GET OUT NOW! PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM! GET OUT, GET OUT NOW!"
He may have yelled something else, I have no idea.You see, I pu the damn van in gear and RAN like a striped ass babboon! WOOO!
So, I go to another ATM in another part of town, hit McDonalds, and proceed to Ryans, where I had a few drinks.
(Perfect solution, right?)
I Today, I call Sparks P.D. and explain everything to them. The dispatch officer in question is in TEARS before I am done with the story (I left out the ATM/McD's/bar part), and hands me off to his supervisor. I REPEAT the story (and begin counting the time I am goign to have to do) when he tells me that I did NOT break a law. He also tells me I am an idiot for NOT doing what I was told, but he could understand me running in a case like that...and would I like him to call the company that hired "that idiot" and speak with them on my behalf? I tell him no, thanks,I amdoing that next.
So I call ****** Armored Truck and ask THEM if they had a report on me? They have no clue, will I hold for a supervisor? Yes, yes, I will, thank you very much! The Supervisor for Idiots With Guns, Inc gets on the line, I introduce myself and explain, once again, who I am. And what happened. Dead silence. For like 2 minutes....then I say "hello?"
"Sir, I am SO sorry...what can I do to make this better for you?" wtf? No, no, nothing...I just wanted to be sure that we are "ok". yes, ye we are. then he says "Sir, i am goin to ask you to not mention our name or this story to anyone. It could be embarassing to the company." wtf?
