Forgot to tell y'all this one. I have a picture of two khukuries on my front license plate (OK, this is the only place where I can talk about that and not get told that I'm a little overboard).... anyway, it's on the old Jeep Cherokee that my wife drives.

She is a Caribbean Indian (India) and stands about 5'2 and 110 lbs.
You can imagine quite an intimidating site. The local police, here in Marietta, GA, pulled her over last week and asked her about her licence plate.
They were serious. I think they realized she might not be dangerous after all, and then she told them that it was her husband's hobby, etc.
IE- lesson learned, when being questioned by the police, blame the husband. :D

I understand the need for Homeland security, etc, but gees, do they have to bother my 5'2 little Indian wife? oh well. :rolleyes:
 
Why did they pull her over?
Was it just because of the licence plate? Were the pics blocking the reading of the plate or something or was she speeding? :confused:
 
That's it!! I'm going to have my avatar posted on a plate and put it on the front of my car. Great Idea!!! Dan would there be copyright problems???? :confused: :eek: :D
 
I believe they call it profiling. I had a couple friends pulled over and searched because they had Grateful Dead stickers on the car. I felt like they shoulda sued.

Been there. Also had, "Warning: I brake for mutants."


If Mamav puts her atavar on her car there will be trouble. On the other hand, maybe she and the arresting officer will hit it off.

I don't have any friends this has happened to but I have heard of people searched for their NRA or anti gun control stickers too. :rolleyes:
 
That's the drizzlin shi'tz Uwinv!!!! Couple of real Boss Hoggs Ainnit? Reminds me of the Boss Hogg that stopped me under suspicion of DUI in Arkansas one rainy night about midnight because I was driving as far to the right as possible on the narrow azzed hogg tail they called a state road.:rolleyes:
FOr every hundred really decent police officers there has to be one azzhole, perhaps in Joriga the stats are higher?:grumpy: :mad:
 
Alright, I'll repeat my favorite Drunk Ndn Story:

My very very good friend, ________ Bear, got in a car wreck in Billings, MT. I think it was his fault. At any rate, he got hit in the head real hard. They brought him to ER, clipped off all his bloody clothes, and examined him. They kept doing blood tests to determine just what drugs he was on, he was so confused and incoherent. They figured he had to be drunk or something, all the ndn's that come to ER at night are drunk.... Yeah. Ask me sometime, what it feels like to get knocked out.....anyway, he's OK to leave after a while- he has a brain injury but it doesn't seem to be serious enough to stay.

He says, "Well, if I'm OK, why are my feet wiggling like that?" Sure enough, his lower extremities were twitching, so it was off to the MRI But he is OK, and is discharged.

It is 3 AM, and about 10 degrees. There is snow on the ground. He knows no one in Billings, and they discharge him wearing a hospital robe.

Now, you have to understand I come from a family recently removed from the farm- I'm the first one off, Dad made it off. Redneck...sort of cerebral redneck..actually, Dad taught us to look for the person, he didn't care about any thing else.

Back in the 30's a black kid made it to his HS in Kansas. He wore a bright Orange T shirt once. My Dad said, "Gee, that looks great on you." All his more 'advanced' peers gasped and were embarressed by this comment.
Why? Because they were idiots.

Upon hearing of my good friend's troubles in Billings, the Old Man said,
"When he gets back for his followup appointment, he should put on that bloody hospital gown. Here I am, just as you left me.....

Mr Bear and I laughed our hearts out thinking about that one.
 
Good story, Munk.

Yvsa, I don't know if it's the town or not. Kinda remind me of security guards more than police...

No, she wasn't speeding, it was pure profiling. I'm gotta put that Glock sticker on the back of her Jeep next .. he he. kidding, although tempting.
 
God, I hate ignorance. And while I hate few people, the ignorant are pretty near.

Naturally all "for'ners" must be terrorists. Of course. Not like Oklahoma city ever happened or anything. And if you're an Arab or of that complection, you had better not be Muslim or speak Arabic. Then you're definately a terrorist.

-this is the mentality in my town. Of course, it's not voiced. It's real quiet. It's just the thing in the back of the sheeple's minds. I just wanna smack them with the flat side of my Khuk and say "Damm it, people are people!"

We must fight these blatant infringements on our civil liberties. I understand the "war on terror." But give up some rights and pretty soon they'll want to take a few more. Our perceived safety (and to some extent paranoia) in the short term is not worth giving up the rights that many generations have fought so valiantly to maintain.

Certainly the main target of law enforcement shouldn't be 5'2 Indian ladies in Jeeps that have Khukuri pics or any other decals.

This us-vs.-them mentality that we've developed about terror is vastly too general. We can't say that all Muslims are bad. They're not! Not even a near-majority. Cultural generalizations are evil things. They spread ignorance, hatred, and eventually violence and death.

The world in which we live is not a black-and-white place. We must remain open to other opinions and cultures. Like here on the HI forum. We resolve arguments well and everybody comes away from it slightly altered in philosophy. We all listen. America needs to do that a lot more.

Chris, maybe you oughta calm down a little before you start posting so you'll have a clear head. Uwinv's wife is 5'2" and 110 pounds, not 5'10" and 210 pounds.:rolleyes: :p ;) ;) ;) ;) :D

Hell, I'd be scared of an ndn lady that size and AM as they are pretty common!!!!:eek: :D

Just tzn my friend, easy mistake and I added the weight of 210 just to get you.;)
 
Darn typos. Yeah, I'll edit. Gawd, that would be scary. If I were a cop, I wouldn't even mess with someone like that! :D
 
Done. Thanks, Yvsa. Our little secret... :)

Wait, you quoted me!!

Oh, well. Let them all hate me! :) :D :barf: :mad: ;) :p

They won't hate you, just tell 'em you like your ladies big with meat on their bones instead of them little skinny gals that obviously don't know how to make good frybread and you'll be alright.:D

That is unless one takes a shine to you.:rolleyes: :p ;) You might learn what .50 cents worth, naw, I'll shut up there.....:eek: :o :D ;)
 
Actually, Yvsa, my girlfriend of long-standing weighs about 98 lb. She's tiny. She's not overly skinny, though. She's just not very tall, but well-proportioned. She's never made frybread, but her Pad Thai sure is good! :D
 
Dave, rest assured. If I were a cop, I'd definately pull you over. It would probably have something to do with a mutilated concrete pillar, though. :D ;) :p
 
Not to mention one that had recently been rounded off with det cord and had "No, Dave, No" painted on it!
 
I hate to play the devil's advocate here but I don't think that was profiling - as was mentioned in the very first sentence of the original post, such a license plate is a little unusual. Sometimes we tend to forget that felling trees with Nepali knives is not a common thing in most places. :)

Personnel who do law enforcement or any other kind of physical security for a living are trained and conditioned to investigate things that appear out of place. It's part of the job. 99 times out of 100 it's nothing. That other one you read about in the news.
