My girlfriend sent me an e-mail Thursday morning about the importance of knowing that by dialing *677 on your cell phone you can get in touch with local police dispatch, particularly when an "unmarked" police cruiser is attempting to pull you over and there's a question as to whether or not you should. I've always been of the mindset to never pull over for an unmarked car. Instead, simply put your hazards on or continue driving to the closest town and even the closest station before pulling over where you know you will be safe in case this person is indeed a fraud. Afterall, a true officer should understand if you are simply trying to protect yourself. Her e-mail told a story that had a woman in that exact situation follow the same concept.
While the "knockoff pullover" may be the stuff of urban legend, as described on a website link sent to me by my friend Tim, the lesson learned from it is something I think far outweighs whether or not the story is true. It's always better to be safe than sorry right?
Here's that link: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/mayhem/fakecop.asp - you can check out most, if not all, urban legends here - Enjoy!

What about the urban legend of reading your sister's blog and becoming impotent?
Just in case these urban legends are true, I'll stop eating cucumbers immediately...
along with reading your blog...
:)
Ah cucumbers! We should poll folks - is it true that "cucumbers make you stupid?" We've both been eating them our whole lives and we're not. Perhaps the real question is this - Does not eating cucumbers make you stupid?
