I got a ticket today.

Posted by Typicalanonymous - August 14th, 2011


Ah, but it was just a warning ticket, no fine involved. And it was a boating ticket.

I was out jet skiing with a friend from NJ (Who, incidentally, I like, but am unfortunately awfully timid about letting her know that.) and we were trailing behind a fairly large boat, jumping its wake. I jumped it a few times and looked over, and a police boat was waving me over. I put-put-putted over and the exchange went something like this:

Me: I assume you guys would like to see my boating license?
Cop: Yes, sir.
*I float up beside them and hand over my boating license*
Cop: How old are you, son?
Me: 17.
Cop: Alright, do you know why I pulled you over?
Me: Was I following too close?
Cop: No, you were fine, but you were weaving back and forth behind that boat, and that falls under the category of reckless driving.
Me: Hm. I didn't know that... I thought that was all fair game as long as you kept your distance.
Cop: Well, it's not. Can I see your required fire extinguisher and whistle?
Me: (Thinking: Well shit. I know I have my FE, but not a whistle) Sure, here's the fire extinguisher.
*As I hand it over, the top it falls off into the water* (I scoop it up, no littering for me!)
Me: Well, that's probably not a good sign...
Cop: Indeed not. This is not a working fire extinguisher. Do you have a whistle?
Me: No........ =(

So he writes me off a ticket, and I head on home. My friend from NJ laughed at me, (Not in the mean way, just to say.) cause it was actually a funny experience. =P

As I got home and showed it to my dad, he was cool with it, but said the cop guy was just talking out of his ass, and "excessive weaving" was not exactly reckless driving, as reckless driving was a very subjective thing.

And that's my story for today. Hope you don't mind my wall of text.
And since this story is boating related, I will show you the picture of my dad's diving knife that he keeps in the jetski. It's rusted, but looks badass as hell. >:D

I got a ticket today.

Hey, how's mitch doing?

Mitch?

that does look somewhat badass although not as badass as my samurai sword/pineapple chopper. also my mother forbids jet skis as they are the motorcycles of the sea. she forbids motorcycles as well. which is why my previous...i guess only 2 come to think of it but my previous 2 boyfriends have owned motorcycles. i love motorcycles but more than even remotes or penises they seem to be one of those things men guard very carefully (a.k.a. don't let me drive them). except my friends boyfriend who had a bajillion year old harley he let me borrow because my friend told him to and he was completely idiotically in love with her or something. sadly he moved to buttfuck nowhere (sort of near viper actually) because he can make $21 an hour working in a warehouse or factory or something over there. so no more motorcycles for me :(

Well jet skis are better than motorcycles. (as far as safety goes) If you fall off a jetski, you'll hit water, which is a little more comfy than the asfalt alternative.

but...i want to have both
and then i want to ride my jetski across the ocean
and then ride my motorcycle all over italy or someplace scenic and europe-y like that
and i think i want it to be light blue so that it doesnt get stolen by a dude who wants a motorcycle
my motorcycle will be mine...ALL MINE

Yours? xD
