02.18.07 Cops And Rubbers (or I’m Thirteen Sometimes)
We handed over the rental agreement, proof of insurance and Brody’s license. And waited.
I cleaned out the car. I took pictures of Brody sweating the whole thing out.
That’s when the second cop showed up.
And seconds after that picture, Cop #2 approaches the car very confused.
“This insurance card is outdated and from California. Your license was issued in Tennessee. This car is from Tulsa. And you flew there to come to Wichita?”
“Yes,” Brody answered.
Two tickets later, we hit the road again for Monett, Missouri...where the green room was a high school classroom. A home economics and health classroom where students are currently, apparently, studying sex. By the looks of things, they were given the assignment to make a poster about it...about not...you know, doing it. I can get behind that. So to help them spread the word…
Put On A Ring Before You Do Your Thing
Save It For Marriage
If You Abstain You Won’t Complain
For my Spanish speaking readers...I have no idea what this says. Something about tadpoles and Certs I think.
All this abstinence promoting made me thirsty.
Oh yea, and I played a show for a rowdy bunch of folks who saved 14 kids from poverty through Compassion International
And that, my friends, is a blogworthy day. Tomorrow: home.

I’m glad I’m not paying your insurance! What is it about you guys and tickets while travelling? At least you weren’t in ‘Bama again. That would’ve been bad as you probably would’ve gotten the same cop as last time!

Are you sure it is a good idea to be drinking liquid from a fridge that has a “certs and tadpoles” poster hanging on it.
Just sayin’.
And you should have made your own poster and hung it up in the room.
Something like…
“Wait till you give her the rick before putting on those business socks.”

Sorry you didn’t have the perfect ending (or was it?) to your Wichita leg. Just wait for the Wild at Heart Men’s Conference. Cowboy up!

I read this post last night. But I just now noticed the post’s title. Brought a much needed laugh into what promises to be a long day.

I haven’t lived in Wichita in three years. Did you get pulled on Rock Road? Sure looks like it!
said:
I am surprised Brody didn’t use the old Jedi mind trick to get out of the ticket like he usually does.

I tried, but there is something different about the mind of cops in Wichita. I think it threw me off.
