Dad & Police




Sunday we drove to Lotoshino for our meetings.  Dad got pulled over by the big bad policeman and his  magic stick two different times on the way there.  The first time the policeman just looked at his papers and let him go.  The second time he had to "step into the office".  It didn't take him long--usually doesn't when you are making a voluntary contribution to their family fund.  That reminds me of a Russian joke our dear Elder Petrov shared with us.  
A little boy ran in to wake up his Policeman Dad who had overslept.  "Daddy, Daddy, wake up--the people have been driving for free for hours."  Yep--that pretty much says it all.

Those crazy policemen. They are just like the Hungarians. What is up with them? So corrupt and dishonest!

dad is nortorious for getting pulled over, but I would have to say he is great at getting out of trouble.

Go Phil! (Or I should say Pres. Collins!) Is he still working on his record for getting a ticket in every country in Europe - hee hee! Those Russians are just like the Mexicans - so corrupt! Brooke, remember when I got pulled over in Rocky Pointe and we had to go to the police station and we made Mike Huber go with us. Ugh - I hate those Mexican Police. Good job though, Phil!
