The person I heard this from (Al in the story) swears that it really
happened. (And no, Im not this Mark – you should be able to figure out why
I chose those names. 🙂

Two guys (well call them Mark and Al) are out cruising. Mark is driving,
and theyre on some out-of-the way roads. Mark is distracted and doesnt see
a stop-sign, and a few moments after he runs it they hear a siren and see blue
lights. Mark has never been stopped by the police before, and gets really
nervous.

MARK: OhshitwhatdidIdo? I wasnt speeding, was I? No, I wasnt speeding.
Whatd I do whatd I do?

He pulls over, shaking like a leaf. The cop pulls in behind and walks up to
his window.

COP: You realize you ran a stop sign back there?

MARK: [panicky] No, honest! I didnt see it! I didnt mean to run it! I
just didnt see it! Really!

COP: Ill need to see your drivers license.

Mark pats his pants for a few seconds before remembering that hes wearing
shorts with no pockets. He looks around the car, finds his wallet, opens it
up, and starts frantically throwing things out of it into the back seat.
No license. He enlists Als help, and together they search the glove
compartment, under the seats, behind the cushions, front and back, to no avail.
After ten or fifteen minutes of searching, Al looks up and catches the
officers eye.

AL: You dont need to see his identification.

COP: [without missing a beat] I dont need to see his identification.

AL: These arent the droids youre looking for.

COP: These arent the droids were looking for.

AL: He may go on about his business.

COP: You may go on about your business.

AL: Move along.

COP: Move along.

At this point the cop turns around, walks back to his car, gets in, and drives
away.

Mark pulls out and makes it about 200 yards down the road. Then he stops
and just shakes for a few minutes, finally asking Al to drive.
