Roger the wild
Years ago I worked at a military base, lets just call it submarine base, and one day the base civilian cops come into the machine shop and escort a machinist out of the building to the parking lot, won't mention any names but "Roger The Wild", comes to mind, he holds his arms straight up in the air like a WW II movie prisoner with the cop shop following behind. One of the cops a, lady sez, "That won't be necessary" Roger keeps his arms over his head all the way to the car, much to the annoyance of the cops, Roger is grinning, they find his car, drug dog sniffing at the trunk, a scrawny Beagle, they have Roger open the trunk, in jumps the mutt, scratching, licking, barking and digging it?s feet on Rogers charcoal grill top, he had barbecued clams about a week earlier and the grill was getting pretty ripe in the summer in the parking lot. About half the shop was out there watching the doings, everyone grinning ear to ear. Roger walks back into the shop, every one clapping and yelling. Cops drive off, not looking back. Sometimes life is just too much fun.
