Ever Been Thrown in the Clink?

[Beezer]

I have and it wasn't fun. It was a misunderstanding and I was released.

Part of my late Brother's wedding speech...

"Mom raised us well. None of us have ever been in jail, and we can all play the piano!"

No, but if I did the same things now that I did in my younger former life, I would almost certainly be wearing orange. Police back in the 70s were not so quick to arrest for drunk and disorderly behavior as they are now.

True dat!

Many people also smoked in cars with children...didn't wear seatbelts...my Dad would be wearing orange today for sure.

Twice - and that's all I have to say about THAT!

I was busted for bringing beer across the borders of provinces when I was a young man... Took my beer, and in the clink for overnight... Still haven't learned though, still pick beer up in Quebec and bring it home... about $10 cheaper for a case...

Think we would all be wearing orange for all of them examples...

When I was 17, in 1971, I was arrested with two friends in nightclub called The Bank on Main Street in Cortland, N.Y. for drinking underage.

Not exactly public enemy number one but my parents did have to come and collect me.

Later, I had to appear at a hearing before the state ABC board and make a statement about our purchases, who served us, etc…

Cortland is a college town and apparently this particular club was under surveillance for repeatedly serving minors which was precisely why we were there!

I know you'll probably find it hard to believe but I was not always the perfect little angel that I am now ....I've visited the pokey three times and each time booze and bars were involved.
