My car was acting up again, so Steph dropped me off. After the show I walked to a gas station not far away to buy cigarettes, a bottle of water and a cookie and wait for her to pick me up. Just as I was standing around wondering what the hell I was going to use for my 365 days shot so late in the day, two cop cars pulled up next to me.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;What are you doing sir?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#8217;m waiting for a ride.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>If my people have learned anything over the years, it&#8217;s to be as polite and cordial to the police as possible. I certainly wasn&#8217;t looking to have my ass Rodney Kinged tonight. <\/p>\n<p>Apparently someone decided I looked suspicious standing around in front of a gas station and eating a cookie so they called the cops. The cops rushed to the scene to apprehend the suspicious looking 5&#8217;8 black man brandishing a chocolate chip cookie and a bottle of Aquafina. They took my license and ran it through their computer and of course came up with nothing. Then they asked me what I was doing so far from home (the show was about 30 min away) and I had to explain being a professional wrestler. Eventually they decided to buy my story and wished me a good day. I did manage to get one of them to agree to pose with me for this shot. That kind of threw them I think. They probably don&#8217;t have many suspects asking them to pose for pictures. I thought of having him pretend to arrest and cuff me, but decided that it was better not to push my luck.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t wear my &quot;I&#8217;d rather be fighting the man&quot; T-shirt today.<\/p>\n<p>Steph arrived to pick me about 5 min. after they finally left me alone. I wonder if they would have arrested me on the spot if they knew I was boinking a white woman.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/365days\/\">365 days<\/a><br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8-4-07 Originally uploaded by chrismaverick.
