~a true story about Bothwell~

lady cop · Post by **lady cop** » Mon Apr 25, 2005 7:15 pm

Bothwell is sick in bed :yh_sick and helpless, so i am going to tell a story about him~~i live in a heavy tourist area, we shall call it 'lone palm'. anyway he and i were downtown, an area of pretty and popular shops. there are benches to sit down for some prime people watching. well Europeans are in the habit of rolling their own cigs since they are so expensive over there. so he takes out his 'stash' and starts to roll one. now i am county, we also have city police. so here come two of 'lone palm's' finest on foot patrol. i don't know them, nor they me. they stopped dead in their tracks and watched (with obvious horror) Bothwell rolling and firing up...i said "oh shite" to myself, and here they come....i had to whip out my badge and let them examine the 'roach'~~~ oh i laughed all day, at the look on his face, i just knew he was thinking "i will never get out of an American jail". LOL

Hi Mominiowa. no, we came here together, and thankyou! ~~~ and JAB, i KNOW i'm going to pay when he drags his poor flu-ravaged body out of bed! so i might as well tell some more! he really is a brilliant guy, but florida has been a bit of a shock to him, they don't have (English)man-eating things over there! ....we're sitting at a beach bar and a helicopter is flying over, low along the surf line, he looked up and i said "shark patrol". once again,i get this incredulous look! only i wasn't lying that time! but now he doesn't know what to believe! this is one dangerous state!

I have arisen Lazarus like from my sick bed. It is obviously Legionnaires disease combined with double pneumonia or as you ladies would say "Manflu" or a heavy cold.

Abbey we certainly will lay the trap for LC. She has endangered my life on several occasions and revenge must be sought. I thought maybe drop her in Mid Wales on a Sunday afternoon and see if she can find a drink, or maybe sightseeing in Moston!!!!

In seriousness the visit to the jail was very illuminating for a brit, nothing like ours. Open cells, (well cage doors) no privacy, 24/7 observation by video and very very scary deputies in charge. What was also interesting was that LC introduced me to her Sheriff!!!. Fancy me meeting a real life Sheriff. They also had prisoners walking around in striped uniforms cleaning staff cars etc just like a chain gang.

I was also amazed to see an Armadillo dead by the side of the road, LC treated this like we would a dead rabbit in the road until I explained that we do not get Armadillos over here, she would not even let me cook it!

One of my biggest shocks were the vultures, you know here you might see crows or seagulls hanging around rubbish bins well there they are great big bloody vultures, frightened me to death, about 3 ft high and bald (not me the vultures!).

Actually where she lives is the most beautiful place, just a mile or so from the sea, great beaches. In fact I am amazed she has not shared the taxi story with everyone. Once when i was there she had to work so I decided I would get a cab to the pier that was mentioned in the guidebooks, so I duly asked the hotel front desk to call me a cab. When the cab arrived I told the driver my destination which made him laugh his head off, when he finally stopped laughing he pointed across the street to the pier 50 yards away!! Being English i said I know that but I want a cab anyway.

If you'd have done that over here they'd have taken you the scenic route, a 12 mile round trip :driving:

Bothwell has returned to his deathbed, so i'm baaaaaaaacK ~~~ i was going to tell that taxi story, but didn't want to embarrass him.

..he did, in fact take the cab across the bloody road! LOL .......and everywhere we went these southern types could not understand a word he said, so i had to translate too. it was pretty entertaining. the worst was i can't stand shopping, and he had never seen a walmart. how exotic! so i had to take him to walmart and spend endless tortuous mind-bending hours in walmart! he was most impressed with the fact not one employee had a clue where any item was located. the coolest thing was at the beach,he had never seen dolphins in the wild, and i prayed some would appear~~~well a whole pod of them showed up, frolicking in the surf, it was wonderful to see the pleasure he took from that!........of course there is the giant man-eating pelican story.......:wah:

BOTHWELL,

:driving: I laughed so hard at your CAB STORY I was crying.. :wah: I liked the fact that you pretended to know it was just across the street..
