Confession 101

I got a misdemeanor charge Sunday night for giving a false i.d. to a cop after he caught us dressing up all the statues and fire hydrants on campus. Oh, well, it was worth it just to see old Karl Maeser in my efy counselor shirt and Brigham Young dressed up like a Hot Dog on a Stick employee.

Did you give him fake ID? Or was this the ID with the handicapped picture?

Ok, some unintentionally vague wording here. I didn't HAND him a fake i.d. I told him one. We had been dressing up all the statues and fire hydrants on campus with a bunch of old clothing I had been about to throw away, when a creepy security guard on a bike approached. He told us that if the fire department saw what we were doing they would have a heart attack, to which I responded that fire fighters have to have that sort of thing checked before they get that job, and if their hearts can stand to run into burning buildings, they could probably. He cut me off and started to ask for all sorts of personal information. I said my name was Karl "with a K" Smith. I gave him a false address, phone number, birthday, social security number, etcetera. I didn't realize he was a real cop that whole time, and I'm not sure that would have stopped me. But then he called dispatch and gave them all the information. That was an excruciating several minutes, waiting for them to call back. When they finally did, and reported that my information was all false, the cop looked at me and asked, "Do you want to tell me your REAL name?" I, always the literal one, replied with a curt "no." I did eventually tell him the truth, but not without getting dragged down to the station to get a ticket, while Wiggle called out things like "is he going to jail" and "do you need us to get bail money?"

On the day I was supposed to go to court, I forgot. I ended up getting arrested for that later.
