To get to Ohio from New York, we had to drive through Pennsylvania…. and of course we had to run into the one state trooper that obviously wanted to beat us up, psychologically, like a red-headed step child. It all started with the unconscious slamming of the breaks after seeing the cop car a mile down the road. That was the easiest part of the situation; do to my constant practice over the years. After passing him on the side of the road, one must always check the rear-view mirror, making sure he doesn’t pull out of his weathered parking spot to prey on none other, but YOU!! But of course, he did. I proceeded to set my cruise control at 2 miles over the speed limit and coasted down the highway. He, on the other hand, decided to fly by me going at an unnecessary fast pace. After a deep sigh of relief, from both B.B. and me, we then see him slam on his breaks so he is able to pull in directly behind us. After tailgating us for at least 5 minutes, he then pulls out and drives parallel with us for another 3 miles, starring at us intently. Thank god, after finding no probable cause to pull us over, he must have decided to run away and waste more of his life keeping the highways of Pennsylvania safe from trouble adolescents like myself. Mind you, at the time of my break slam I was going no faster then 5 miles over the speed limit. The moral of the story is, bored cops make for great buzz kills.
