International Ditz
Sometimes, I deliberately play the part I proudly call “The International Ditz.” It may be because I aspire to be an actress in my next life, or in this case, to weasel my way out of a speeding ticket.Red, blue, and white lights blind me. My friend interrupts my conversation and says, “Yo Erzulie, pull over, it’s a cop.” So I do. I observe the policeman walking toward me with his beaming flashlight. I lower my window and look up at him, cocking my head slightly to one side and giving him a confused, doe-eyed gaze.
“Miss, was there any reason you were sailing down an inner street at 60 miles per hour?” I study his face, part my lips, and consciously brush away any hint of an American accent, “Ummm…not really.”
My dutiful, slightly flustered friend hands over my registration from the glove compartment and I calmly give the document to the cop, along with my license. I continue eyeing him as he studies the paperwork.
“Were you in a hurry to get anywhere?” He looks up from my records. Our eyes lock. I knew right then I was off the hook, “I’m going back home,” I cooed while purposely stressing on my forced accent.
He cleared his voice and mumbled, “Well, next time slow down. Have a good night Erzulie.”
“Oh thank you officer!” I closed my window, turned to my friend – whose jaw hit the floor- and raised a mocking eyebrow along with a smirk.
I think my buddy said “YOU LUCKY ASS!” a million times that day.
Sometimes, being a girl pays off. In this case, it got me out of a $500 ticket. Ah well, c’est la vie boys ;)

so, sex not only sells
it also saves
Not only does it sell and save...it makes alllll the difference ;)
Temetwir: Who says anything about sex? It's mere human manipulation :)
Sedna: Well, I was only thinking about my checking account when that sucker pulled me over...Gotta save, gotta save...And slow down as well :)
You big tease! :oP
u go girl ;)
I can't imagine what this situation would've been like with female cops.
7tenths: SPILL! NOW!
Stallion: Desperate times... :P
Krispy: :P~~
3baid: Ah yes, with female cops it's good to tear up a bit (I have to practice) and claim that one's erratic driving is due to breaking up with a cheating boyfriend. Haven't tried that one yet but if I ever do, I'll be sure to post about it :P
AHHHHH, F$#@! I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS! NOT FAIR! We can't weasel our way out of one, even if it was a female officer and I was a CK underwear model!
Btw, Tiesto's "In Search Of Sunrise 5: Los Angeles" is already out, if you're interested. (I didn't know you listen to Trance!)
Fedo: Nyahaha! >:D Ah well I think you got that wrong though; female officers are lenient with guys...it's a bit hard for us gals to get out of a ticket issued by a female cop unless we come up with an impromptu sob story...And I listen to everything, I just didn't know what others listened to so I was a bit hesitant on including some trancey stuff :))
I wanna go to Sensation White & Black in Amsterdam; that's one of my goals, among other things :)
wow! way to go!
i think a guy pulling off this trick would be taken to the INS or something. It's tempting to try though!
first i miss the states
second i think ur in the west side
if u were in the EAST side ull not get away with it
easter cops are bad
o ba3den meta betshelen el araf el word verefication!
UZF: You never know!
Kila Ma6goog: La I like word verification. Just pronounce it like a word when you're typing it. Wana moo bil east wala bel west fa rahyeen el cops shway :P
Zinzin: Madry laish 3indi handicap! Anyway, yeah...la I don't talk in some sort of accent bes you know how, for example, fee nafs egolon "waterrr" and they roll their "R's" and then Americans say "wa'ur" Fa ana I sorta force myself to enunciate every letter so as to be...that foreign driver :P
Paul van Dyk was the main attraction in the last Sensation White in Amsterdam.
erzulie u're always getting into mis'haps and drama... i like you!
Fedo: I was really close to seeing him one time (not in Amsterdam) but I was a week early! :/ Yalla mara thanya :)
baroque: Haha :P All in a day's work :)
A friend of mine studying in the states got stopped for speeding, the cop asked him for his license and registration and my friend replied with a dumbfounded look on his face, "no english", the cop tried and tried, and still same answer from my friend, "no english", so the cop said partially to himself, "ok I got to take you to the police station for a translator", all of a sudden my friend remembered all his english.
That shows, guys have no advantages :-(
don_veto: Ah yes, the infamous "No English" line. Well, it seems that your friend is really unlucky because I know some guys here that have pulled that line off successfully.
