BRING IT, Fairfax
So I was dropping off Jeanne (roommate) at the Metro station one morning. We came to one of those intersections with the annoying "no turn on red" signs--the one with the red circle (they look like Kotex advertisements--which explains why they are so annoying). Being the law-abiding citizen I am, I stopped and waited for the green. Of course during this time there are NO CARS and NO PEDESTRIANS--just some tumbleweeds blowing across the street. Distracted by the radio, Jeanne prompts me to go b/c we are given a right-turn arrow. I make the turn, and GUESS who flags me down around the corner. Yes, Mr. Fairfax County Police Man (I believe we met his kin TWICE already here in VA). I am, of course, freaking out as he tells me to pull over. Irrelevant excuses fill my mind... "I just moved here a month ago--I'll register my car soon" (even though it has already been registered) ..."I didn't notice that I was speeding" (even though I made the turn going 5 mph).
[We roll down the window]
Officer: "You can't turn right at this intersection."
Jeanne: "It gave us a green arrow, dude." [haha, I added the "dude"--but can't you totally hear her saying that?]
Jennafi: "Yeah."
Officer: "So it gave you a right-turn arrow?"
Jeanne: "Yes, it turned yellow as we were turning."
Jennafi: "Yep."
Officer: [Takes foot out of mouth] "Well alright then. Have a nice day."
[We roll up the window]
Jennafi: "Yeah! You heard us, you @#$%^&!!!!"
Press Play.

"At least I have all my taste buds."
"Ooops, I said 'dog.' Hope I didn't make anyone hungry."
