Sweet, and awesome, and all those other things, too. Your comment about being Catholic triggered the memory of my favorite traffic violation story. I went to Catholic high school, and 3 carloads of us were heading to a party after a play. First car mostly stopped at a stop sign, but then my friend Myra didn't even go near the brake, just flew through the stop sign. My car, the third, did stop - because at that moment a cop had turned his lights on and was pulling her over. I was in the third car and pulled up behind them. Cop asked her if she knew what she did, and she started crying. She got a bit hysterical, apologizing and explaining, and he just tried to calm her down and looked like, 'oh crap, how do i get her to stop'. She finally blurted out, 'I can't get a ticket, I'm Catholic!' And apparently it worked. She got a warning and he sped away. And we laughed our way to the party, stopping at all stop signs. Luckily he hadn't detected that she/we had been drinking... I've never had to use the Catholic card, haven't been stopped (knock on wood), but I think that might backfire just as easily.
