Reminds me of a time when I was stationed at MCAS, Cherry Point, NC. A buddy of mine had gone to a dance at Washington, NC, and on the way back to the base decided he was too drunk/sleepy to make the last 20 miles. He pulled over to the side of a street in New Bern, NC and sacked out on the front seat of his car.
He awoke to a New Bern city cop pounding on his car window. Dick kind of jumped when he woke up, and the cop claimed Dick jumped AT him. The cop wrote Dick up for assaulting an officer, resisting arrest, drunken driving, public drunkenness, vagrancy, illegal parking, and maybe some other charges I've missed up to, and including, general principles.
Dick took our squadron legal officer with him when he went to court. The judge read off all of the charges and asked Dick if he had anything to say for himself. Dick, being a cynical sort, replied, "You forgot 'murder'". The judge wrote down "Contempt of Court".
When the dust cleared and the smoke settled, all they made stick was Illegal Parking and Contempt of Court. (He did pull over in a no overnight parking area).
Dick was on his own on this one, but I could tell many other stories about the mayhem that seemed to follow the two of us around.

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
