Years ago when I was young and thin...

Aw come on Slick!!! I'll show ya mine if you show me yours!!!

Actually, I was the butt of alot of jokes. One time the State Police did a anti-DWI commercial. There were at least a dozen cruisers and a whole LOT of uniformed Troopers and Auxiliary Troopers (including myself) standing around in a shopping center at 2 a.m. awaiting instructions (we had to shut down traffic on the Merritt Parkway near the tunnel in order to film it). Some guy from the hotel across the street came over and asked the commanding officer if it was a drug raid. The CO said no, and explained what we were doing. The guy looked at me, all 5 feet, in my uniform and gun and said, "Gee, I think that's great the State of Connecticut lets one of the trooper's kids dress up and participate in the commercial!!"

To say I never lived it down is an understatement!
