[3LOU5]

You know what works as good as a PBA card besides hospital scrubs/I.D. ??

Military clothing.

Many years ago, I mailed my cousin in NJ a 101st Airborne Division t-shirt. I bought it at the base PX while stationed in Ft. Campbell, KY, so it was official-looking.

Anyway, he told me that one time, he was stopped by a local LEO for speeding. The cop checked his usual credentials/documention: license, insurance and registration.

He returned from his squad car, handed him back his papers and said, "All your things check out". He glanced at my cousin's shirt and said, "By the way, were you in the Army ??"

Thinking quickly, my cousin replied, "Yes, but it was a while ago".

The cop then decided NOT to give him a a ticket and lets him go with just a warning. I think many LEOs are prior service, and it's kind of an unwritten rule not to give a ticket to your brothers-in-arms.

The funny thing is, my cousin never served.
