Ride home in a squad car?
You could have pawned off some lurid tale of a downtown rampage or some such.
I would have.
But in my case, people would believe it and race to the TV for the news.
*Bad idea generated*
Since this guy has nothing better to do, I figured I’d better not embellish the truth. By the time it gets back to me (maybe tomorrow, at the latest) it will be so HUGH, I won’t even recognize anything but the squad car. :o])
