Don't Judge a Book by its Cover

So today, I rode my bicycle to the post office then to the gym and then back home. But after the post office, as I was on my way to the gym... I had a run-in with the police.

On my way to the post office from home, I noticed all these high school kids running... I assumed it was for track and field or cross country (since it was after school hours). I wanted to pass them on the sidewalk but they were all crowding the sidewalk (and there was no bicycle lane on the street). So I slowly followed behind them until I got a chance to pass them. I went to the post office, mailed off what I needed to mail off then headed for the gym. While I was heading for the gym, there was two high school girls running in front of me. Again, there was no bicycle lane and they were crowding the sidewalk, so I waited until I had a chance to pass them. But while I waited to pass them a police car was slowly tailing me. Once I passed the girls, the cop pulled right in front of me and started questioning me. Here's how it went...

Police: "Pull over. Do you have any weapons on you?"

Me: "What?"

Police: "Do you have any weapons on you?"

Me: "Uh, no."

Police starts frisking me and then asks... "What's that in your pocket?"

Me: "Cigarettes."

Police, kindof skeptical and rude: "You're riding a bike and smoking?"

I just look at him kind of dumbfounded cause the last time I checked it wasn't illegal to do that. The police just moves on what his next question.

Police: "What's in your backpack? Where are you headed?"

Me: "Water, towel. I'm headed to the gym."

Police: "What gym?"

Me: "24 hour fitness on so and so street."

Police: "Why were you riding up and down these streets? I just saw you riding on the other way, and now your headed in the opposite direction."

Me: "What? I haven't rode on this street today. I was at the post office. I have a receipt to prove that I was there."

Police looks dumbfounded and starts checking my backpack. Then asks a stupid question...
"What were you doing at the post office?"

Again, I look at him like 'WTF kindof question is that?'

The police simply states the obvious, "Were you mailing something?"

Me: "Uh, yeah." Still looking at him like WTF?

Police: "Sorry theres been a lot of wierdos following girls around here."

The whole time I was just shocked and in awe of what was happening. I couldn't stop laughing on my way to the gym cause of the stupid remarks that policeman made.

And my wife couldn't believe that happened to me out of all the people, cause I find it disgusting looking at any minor in that kind of way.
