Subject: RE: BS: In the middle of a police chase today...
Well, Jerry was once held at gunpoint and frisked by the police about thirty years ago. Seems they thought he was about to hold up a coin shop and the owner had called the police telling them Jerry was armed.

Actually, he had been in the shop trying to sell some coins we had inherited to raise the money to buy a Martin D-35. When he came out he realized he had locked his keys in the car and was waiting for assistance.

Armed? No, he had a pager on his belt which made a lump in his jacket and this was long before anyone had a pager or a cell phone.

He has never locked his keys in the car since!
