You will not believe what just happened. I went to Shell to get something to drink. When I walked up I noticed these two cops watching a woman who was smoking while getting gas. I saw her and thought, "What an idiot...with the cops right there too." But anyway, I went in and got my Gatorade. As I was checking out, I heard someone screaming. I looked outside and the woman's arm was on fire! She was swinging her arm & running around like crazy! I ran outside and the cops had put her on the ground and were putting the fire out with their coffees! Then they put handcuffs on her and threw her in the police car. I was thinking "She shouldn't have been smoking & pumping gas, but surely she's not going to be arrested for her stupidity, I mean, especially considering the circumstances!!! The lady just burned her arm for goodness sake!!!" So, being the nosey person that I am, I asked them what they were arresting her for... The cop looked me dead in the eye and said ... "WAVING A FIREARM !"
