Imagine...

Imagine a sudden swirl of colored lights in your rear-view mirror, accompanied by a klaxon of sirens.
Imagine thinking that it was more productive to drive through a second stop sign, without stopping,because you were near your destination and it made more sense to you to get to where you were going and then deal with the problem.
Imagine you are driving a Cadillac Escalade with a large, beaten up, flat-bed trailer bouncing along behind and, by the time you reach your place of business, you are being closely followed by the original black and white police cruiser and two other back-up vehicles who have been called in and come screaming to join the chase.
Imagine your surprise when several angry officers are yelling at you to keep your hands visible on the steering wheel and they won't let you get out of your car, preventing you from opening the gate around the storage area for the person you were late meeting, who had decided to jump the fence and just about wet himself thinking the sirens were coming for him.
Imagine their surprise when you ask, "Parlez vous francais?"
