@JerseyGrrrl: I know-- the first three are "surly divorcee with a pack of Newports in her bra", the last is Freaky Friday. LINDSAY COME BACK TO US! #lindsaylohan
Authority figures, in general, dislike jokes, the poops.
I got pulled over once for swerving around too much as I was trying to unwrap a crunchy taco from Taco Bell. I told the cop he could probably write me up for driving while in-taco-sicated. He did not think it was very funny. #lindsaylohan
@TexasCrude: I was once stopped for speeding, and when the cop asked me why I was speeding, I truthfully answered that I was on my way to have sex. He let me off! #lindsaylohan
@TexasCrude: Because my husband's a cop , I can tell you that after he left, he probably laughed and told his buddies about it. They're not supposed to break character in front of the civilians, tho.
BTW, crying? Yeah, my husband loved to write tickets when girls/women cried. Believe it or not, they're kind of aware of that trick. #lindsaylohan
I really want to invite you over to watch some crappy tv and eat snacks with me. You need some "boring married people" friends in your life in a bad, bad way. #lindsaylohan
@Tippi Hedren: I'm still privately hoping for a week where I get Brit-Brit and LiLo to hang out with me, my best friend, all the Joss Whedon box sets, some nail polish, tea, popcorn, and Snuggies. This is guaranteed to cure all ills. #lindsaylohan
There are a lot of compromises to make when you live in New York City, but every time I'm out having a few drinks I thank the Noodle for round-the-clock mass transit and readily available taxicabs. The stories in this article of lives lost for no reason except someone wanting a buzz and being stupid enough to get behind the wheel are just so heartbreakingly sad.
@chritter is a nocturnal feminist mancatfish: I thank the Noodle (blessings be upon him) for 24 hour food delivery. It's not everywhere you can get a bacon egg and cheese sandwich at 3 a.m. when you're too drunk to make one for yourself.
@chritter is a nocturnal feminist mancatfish: I have to say it never ceases to amaze me how some people have such a relaxed attitude towards drunk driving. I know people* who admit (brag?) to driving while drunk and they really don't seem to understand why it is wrong. *Not while I'm around, because I would not let them get behind the wheel and I make it a policy to scold them after they tell me.
hmmm....actually, ever since spending a summer working for a public defender, I have my own private non-scientifically proven theory that cops pull over men more often, particularly late at night (ie prime DUI time).
I would see about one woman for ever nine men come through for DUI and just from my own personal anecdotal evidence I knew that stat couldn't be right.
@bluebears: This is my thought too. It could be a question of expectations--officers are more likely to notice symptoms of drunkenness with men because they expect the men to be drunk. It could be a question of behavior--maybe men are more likely to get belligerent or display obvious drunkenness than women? Or it could just be a question of skill--maybe women are better at driving drunk than men? (I kind of doubt this, but it's a possibility.) At any rate, I'm sure that there's a disparity between the sexes when it comes to drunk driving, but I'd be hard-pressed to believe it's a 25/75 disparity. Especially when it takes less alcohol, on average, to get women drunk in the first place!
@nora charles: yeah, I honestly wonder if perhaps in a way its almost "simpler" for a male cop to pull over another male late at night. For all involved.

He almost threw me in the clink for being a big fat liar but I warmed his heart with puppy dog eyes, pouting and a shaky chin (for showmanship).
