Last night, driving home from Alexandria, VA - I got extremely tired.
When I was 17, I learned my lesson about falling asleep at the wheel - so I now pull over any time my eyelids get heavy.
I stopped for about 2 hours and got a little snooze in... and when i woke up, I headed to a gas station to get some water and use the "ladies"...

On my way in, Cop 1 (on left) held the door for me and asked, "how are you?"
me: "oh, tired..."
1: "why are you tired?"
me: "well, (looking at my watch - 4 am!)... it's late!"

So then i went to the "ladies", got a water and some skittles ;) (i thought sugar might help me me awake too)... and when i got back outside, cop 1 asked, "Where do you work?"
me: "i'm a singer..."
1: "where do you sing"
me: "all over the place... from Honolulu to NYC..."
1: "so, do are you going to sing us a song?"
pause... (you see, i can NEVER turn down the suggestion to sing a song!)
me: "ok! let me get my ukulele!"

So I go to my car and get the uke... the case is at my feet, closed, and Cop 2 comes over while I'm singing and opens it up and says, "you should play for $"!

Cop 1 then pulled a fiver ($5) out and put it in the case! :)

Gas Station owner came out and said he'd come find me on myspace... he did, this morning ;)

and the cops emailed me this picture of them from last night!
what can I say... cops obviously dig chics with ukuleles ;)
