Let's play a game. I will tell you a story taken from a newspaper report and you guess the place where it occurred. No fair clicking the link before guessing. Ready? Okay, let's go.
The police were called to a VFW hall to assist an Elvis impersonater who was having convultions. When the police arrived, the Elvis impersonator jumped up, shouted "Viva Las Vegas" and began singing show tunes.
The police had to have been disappointed because, in my experience, it is always better to assist a convulsing, early rock and roll Elvis impersonator than a Las Vegas show tune Elvis impersonator.
Any such disappointment quickly disappeared as a women approached the officers to report that a man dressed as Joliet Jake, the John Belushi character from the Blues Brothers movie, had stolen her car.
The police gave chase and, as the women did not own a specially equipped used police car, they were able to catch Joliet Jake, force him to stop, and placing him under arrest. Joliet Jake has been charged with disorderly conduct, fleeing the police, druken driving, and being on a Mission From God without a license.
The police officer was quoted as saying:
"It's one of those things that you stop and scratch your head, and you think that 'Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?"The men had been drinking together at the VFW before police arrived. Blood tests will show how much, but (Officer) Oyass said, "I would venture to say quite a bit."
Nope, Crystal, Minnesota.
Was that too easy?
