Ha, my friend would love this. He spent 3 years there in the army. He has some ******* insane stories about St. Patrick's day though. One especially where he spent three days in Jail under a fake ID name. When the cops through him in jail they used the name off of the fake ID he had. When the MP's rolled around monday morning to pick him up they never saw his name on the list, only the fake ID name, so they didn't know he was there. They finally figured out the next day, but by then my friend had been missing for like two days and was in a heap of ****. He doesn't like to talk about it all that much. Sad part is he got jailed up for tapping a cop on the shoulder (he was going to ask for directions), the cop got pissed he had even touched him and hauled him away.

Sounds like something a Lynnwood cop would do. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

Thats like you know you're from Des Moines if a tractor has ever stopped traffic on a major road.
