M: ya, after the game we all poured into our cars and drove home to shoot off some fire works
we didn’t want to walk the extra half-block to go into the big open field, so we decided that it would be fine to shoot them off in the neutral ground right under the power lines
P is lighting the fuse for one of the shells and I run into the street to stop the approaching car
D: oh lord
M: right as he lights it, I realize that this car I’m stopping is a cop
the cop gets on his bull horn and says “hey. hey you. you guys with the illegal fireworks… who dat!”
and drove off
I *love* this city
