Where are you from? Man, when I was in High School I got treated like a hero for a month after a misunderstanding involving the cops. A couple cops I knew bet me that their new Corvette, part of the DARE program, would spank my old Chevelle. So we raced, I spanked them, they paid up and that was that. Or so I thought. Upon my return to school on Monday, I had a standing ovation in the parking lot. Someone saw, thought I was running from them and the word spread like wildfire. Only the word that spread was that there were numerous wrecks and a shootout and I must have gotten away because I wasn't in jail. Nothing I could say would change the story. But, I was pulling more tail that month than I would have imagined, 2 or 3 dates a night, 7 days a week... And this was an upper middle class suburban school, not some ghetto 'hood. Kids hate the fact that they are given special kid rules that don't apply to adults, and like the idea of those who ignore the rules and do what they want. It's been like that forever, and pretty much worldwide.
