See if you can track down former NBA player A.C. Green
Green is known as deeply religious and is well-known for proclaiming that he began and ended his NBA career as a virgin. During his playing days, his teammates would frequently send women to tempt him to compromise his morals. Instead, Green would respond by calmly quoting scripture.[2] Currently, he runs youth camps through his A.C. Green Youth Foundation promoting abstinence until marriage.

I can’t believe this happened to me.
My drivers license expired while I was on the road last week. A TSA agent informed me of this while going through security at Norfolk, VA on my way to DFW. I took cabs to all my appointments around Dallas, so that was no big deal. unfortunately, back home in Austin we don’t really have cabs. Not outside the city in the country part of town where I live anyway. All we have is $90 a trip airport service from some company deep in the city. So I’ve been driving to get where I need to go at home. I looked up the penalty. It’s a $200 ticket. I figure it’s worth the risk, since I’ll spend more money on expensive car services in about two days.
Last night I’m driving along. There are cops everywhere. I’m watching the speed limit, haven’t been boozing, registration and insurance are fine although out of state (this is important later). Then suddenly my GPS fucks me. I’m new in town, plus we have no street lights in my area making it very dark and the GPS makes me turn the wrong way down a one way street.
Piece of fucking shit!
Cop was already right behind me when I made the turn. I knew I was getting pulled over.
He tells me why he pulled me over. I explain the GPS situation. Tell him that I’m new in town. He’s asks when I moved in and I tell him August, but explain that I have been on the road for five of the past seven weeks and still don’t know my way around as a result of not really being here. No problem except…..
“This license expired on the 17th.” “Oh. I was on the road that day. If I had been home more I would already have a TX license.” “Well since your new in town I’ll just give you a warning for turning down the wrong way, but I’ll have to write you up for the expired license”. “No problem officer. That sounds more than fair to me.”
He goes back to the car.
He’s taking a long time.
Now I’m starting to get nervous that I have some outstanding ticket in NY and there’s a warrant out for my arrest or something.
He’s reading my license plate # into his radio.
Something is transpiring of which I am keenly unaware.
I feel doomed.
He approaches the window.
“I’m being told that you already have a TX drivers license”.
“No sir. I only took a written test. They said I need to take a road test next week.”
Bear in mind I have NY plates. There is a law in TX that if you own a vehicle with out of state registration you cannot receive a TX drivers license until you register that vehicle in TX. I obviously have not done this yet and therefor cannot have a TX license. You also cannot get a TX drivers license without taking a road test if your out of state license has expired as mine has.
The dispatch on the radio reads back my date of birth, address and other information. I confirm all information as being accurate.
The cop looks at me and says “Well it seems that you have TX drivers license and you just haven’t received it yet.”
He takes out his pen and says “So I’ll just go right ahead and scratch out that citation. If you could just sign here acknowledging the warning and your free to go.”
I sign. He tears off the ticket and hands it to me.
God I have to pack for ACL. I hate freakin packing.
You should bring your bathing suit so you can go swimming in Barton Springs if it gets too hot (just steps from the gate, all the cool hippies will be doing it )
