10 Worst things to say when a Cop pulls you over
10. I can’t reach my license unless you hold my beer.
9. Hey, is that a 9mm? That’s nothing compared to this 44 magnum.
8. Hey, you must have been doing 125 to keep up with me, good job.
7. Sorry officer, I didn’t realize my radar detector wasn’t plugged in.
6. I was going to be a cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.
5. What do you mean have I been drinking? You are the trained specialist.
4. Wow, you look just like the guy in the picture on my girlfriends night stand.
3. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical shape to be a police officer.
2. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes I know there is no other car around, that’s how far they are ahead of me.
1. Is it true that people become cops because they are too dumb to work at McDonalds?
And the best one of all:
Well, officer, when I reached down to pick up my bag of crack, my gun fell off of my lap and got lodged between the brake and the gas pedal, forcing me to speed out of control.

The 10 Most Amazing 3D Street Art Pictures, not edited (No survey!)
And this one is the previous one from the other side.
HOW TO GET 100% ON EVERY SCANTRON TEST
I do not and can not endorse the use of ANY of these methods except for #8.
If you decide to try this and get in trouble, it is your fault and not mine.
Again, I take no responsibility for your actions.
-Don't Become a Fan
If you decide to try this and get in trouble, it is your fault and not mine.
Again, I take no responsibility for your actions.
-Don't Become a Fan
The scantron machines grade your test in the following manner. It takes the maximum number correct from
the answer key, say 20. Then for each incorrect answer, it subtracts one
from that total. It only subtracts if there's a mistake recorded.
That is why malfunctions lead to either no markings, or perfect scores. The list below can help you create these malfunctions.
1. Marking the black lines (Black on Black method)-
On the left side of most scantrons that I know of, there are black
lines next to question numbers. My hypothesis is that these black lines
tell the machine where to scan. I don't know how it works, but it does,
but not as often to create a great advantage. It works about 25%-30% of
the time. I suppose coupled with actual guessing, this does add to the
probability of getting a correct answer. This is my recommended hack.
This is the hack that will work more often than any other. Do it only on
the ones you can't answer.
2. Erasing the same black lines (Erase method)-
Now this hack is pretty self-explanatory. You erase those same black
lines, only on the ones you can't answer though. Sometimes the machine
skips the question and doesn't mark it at all. This leaves you with a
correct answer.
The machine will record an error and not mark the paper at all,
including the score. This will then allow the teacher to grade it by
hand, where he or she may notice the tampering.
3. Erasing the big black block (Big block eradication method)-
Along the left side is a big black block. It is on the upper part of
the column before the question lines. Occasionally, the machine will just
skip over the whole damn thing but leave you with a 100%. This is
practically impossible to get to work. I have gotten it to work twice out
of hundreds of trials, but it can be done. My reasoning for this is
because there is another similar block at the bottom of the column. I
believe that the big block tells the machine when to begin scanning for
questions. I think that variations in the printing of scantrons probably
produce a block on the bottom similar enough to the erased block. Thus,
the machine sees the block begins scanning, sees nothing to correct and
gives you a 100%. Like I said this is probably less than 1% success, but
it can work.
4. Cutting out that big block (Hole in your head method)-
I have had more success with this than erasing for some reason. Again
this is an all or nothing proposition. If you like gambling, go ahead.
Remember that you will leave more noticable physical evidence.
5. Cross-hatching fill-ins (Cross method)-
This method works about 20%-25% of the time. I believe it is pretty
self-explanatory. I find that the best patterns are diaganol
cross-hatches, or horizontal lines. I can't explain why this works, I
assume you are simply confusing the machine.
6. In-between shading (Grey areas method)-
By in-between shading, I mean finding a level of grey that is not too
dark or too light. I believe this will work because of the same reason as
8. YOU FILL IN THE CORRECT ANSWER!
9. "The only way to fool many of the kinds to to fold the edge over or
cut it off. But the the machiene will pass it trough unmarked, and the
teach will probably notice"
#5.
10. Putting a piece of tape over the black lines (Tape method) - This just does what chapstick was supposed to do... screw up the
scanning light... and jack up everything... what you need to HOPE it does,
is pray that it makes the scantron machine malfunction, and not mark it
incorrect. Best of luck... I hate this method.
WOAH! ALIENS Caught on G00GLE EARTH! See For Yourself!

10 Signs You Might Be A D-Bag
10.You spend all your time chasing after a girl, and when she finally sleeps with you, you label her a whore. There's a reason why girl's don't put out on the first date, and it's because of men like you.
9. You're favorite pastime is bragging about all the girls you are bangin'. Maybe you actually are getting as much tail as you say (although probably not), but either way, the chance to brag is almost greater than the orgasm itself.
8. You pretend to be an artful, soul weary, deep thinking, cool dude when in actuality the foundation of your life experience is the lame shit you did in high school, which amounts to jack squat. A douchebag never grows up.
7. You regularly wear button-down shirts open to your navel, or lift up the shirt you are wearing to show off your narcissistic abs. Thank god for club dress codes, or you'd be shirtless in a second.
6. You are unable to flash a normal smile in a photo. Rather, you have to do some pseudo-gang sign to represent whatever supposedly "hard" group of douches you run with accompanied by an equally "hard" face instead of a smile. Also, you're probably a camera whore. Or you take pics of random hot girls you don't even know. Either way, it's all douchey.
5. You truly believe in the "Axe effect" and demonstrate your devotion by liberally spraying yourself before each new female encounter.
4. You refer to yourself in the third person. Enough said.
3. You love to say "That's so gay" or "so-and-so is such a faggot." Your use of homophobic terms probably stems from the fact that you've been repeatedly mistaken to be homosexual due to your heavy use of hair gel and propensity for deep v-necked shirts. Either way, it's just douchey.
2. You love to openly hit on other women while you are out with your girl. Seriously, it's just lame. And will probably ruin your chances of ever getting laid that night.

Official Rules of calling Shotgun
1. The shotgunner must be in clear sight of the car, and shotgun can be called regardless of whether the driver is in sight of the car
2. If you are the first to be picked up on a journey you are automatically given shotgun. You retain this position for the entire journey, unless you violate rules 11, 16, 22 or any other rules stipulating the loss of shotgun.
3. You cannot declare shotgun if someone has previously declared shotgun for that journey.
4. When simultaneous shotgun is called, there is then a foot race to the passenger side door from all the people who called.
5. Shotgun cannot be called whilst inside a building (unless you are in a multi-storey or underground car park!)
6. Shotgun cannot be called in advance, only whilst on the way to the car for the journey.
7. Once shotgun has been called the driver has the option of a reload. The driver yells “reload” and this means that all previous calls of shotgun are void and the first person to call shotgun again gets the seat. This is helpful if the driver really doesn’t like the person who first called shotgun. It is often used when there is a simultaneous call and the driver is unsure of the outcome. Note that a shotgun has only 2 barrels so a reload can only be called once.
8. Once shotgun has been called for the front seat then back left and back right can be called. This effectively leaves the slowest person to travel in the middle (of the “b**ch” seat).
9. Because everyone is created equal, men have the same right to the front seat of the car as women (ie women don't own the front seat!).
10. If the regular driver of the vehicle is drunk or otherwise unable to perform their duties as driver, then he/she is automatically given shotgun.
11. Once the journey has begun, the driver is the obvious controller of the tunes. However if they feel the road requires their full attention, or they simply cannot be arsed any more, duty is passed to the shotgunner. However putting on crap tunes or allowing for silence when the iPod finishes a song or ANY instances of TAKE THAT will result in demotion to b**ch seat.
12. Anyone calling shotgun must have his or her shoes on. This is to stop people running outside and calling shotgun, then having to go back inside to put their shoes on and slowing the journey. This is known as the Shoe Rule.
13. Shotgun overrules Dibs, Baggsies and other girly calls!
14. Despite the debate, shotgun CAN be used to shotgun things other than the front seat (eg back left, back right, women, not going to answer the door, etc).
15. When travelling with a couple, one of the couple MUST shotgun the front. No one wants to chauffer two of their mates whilst they are in the back all over each other.
16. If someone has successfully called shotgun, they have the right to the front seat. They do not have the right to correct the driver on their navigation skills ("take a left here you dickhead!") or driving ability ("I'd be in third gear if I was driving"). If the passenger does this, then they forfeit their position as shotgun holder.
17. If someone says, "what’s shotgun?" after it has been called then they have to walk.
18. If the shotgunner attempts to open the door just as the driver is unlocking it and jams the lock half open so that the driver needs to lock it and unlock it again, the shotgunner forfeits their position. This is known as shotgun suicide.
19. The holder of shotgun assumes the responsibility for all gate opening, off license nipping into, takeaway ordering and question asking. He/she is in essence the copilot and therefore the enforcer of behavior in the vehicle and exacter of slaps/punches/water spraying/bag throwing at the passengers in the back.
20. Automatic "couple's rights act 1997". This law states that, if the driver is the boyfriend/girlfriend of a passenger in the car, this person has the right to the seat of their choice.
21. If one of the potential occupants of the vehicle is dressed (convincingly) as a pirate then they are given automatic shotgun. In the event of more than one pirate being present, a sword fight shall determine the successful shotgunner. This is known as The Pirate Rule.
22. When driving past a woman walking a dog, everyone in the car must shout out the window, "who's walking who?” It is the shotgunner’s responsibility and failure to spot potential heckling, results in demotion to the b**ch seat!
23. When riding in a 2 or 3 door car, it is the responsibility of the shotgunner to allow rear passengers in and out of the back of the car, NOT THE DRIVERS!! Regardless of the weather conditions.
24. Obviously the previous rule on the subject didn’t clarify things completely with everyone coming up with a new rule that over rules shotgun. NOTHING overrules shotgun. Shotgun is final and cannot be overruled!!!!
25. It is the successful shotgunners responsibility to be on the look out for any police and/or speed cameras. if the shotgunner doesn't spot a speed camera and this results in a speeding ticket it is immediately their fault and not the drivers.
History Lesson: The name for the seat (or seats) adjacent to that of the driver comes to us from the American "old"/"wild" west. Aside from a railroad ticket, Stagecoach was the only means of transport during this period. Stagecoaches were also a common means of transporting things of value (eg... payroll money, high ticket merchandise). In this period of lawlessness and hostile (with every right) natives, protection was necessary. Admittedly most people back then were packing some heat, but for added safety, a stagecoach would always have an extra man. He would sit right next to the driver and was armed with a shotgun. This was known as riding shotgun; hence we have “shotgun” to call the front seat of a vehicle.
2. If you are the first to be picked up on a journey you are automatically given shotgun. You retain this position for the entire journey, unless you violate rules 11, 16, 22 or any other rules stipulating the loss of shotgun.
3. You cannot declare shotgun if someone has previously declared shotgun for that journey.

History Lesson: The name for the seat (or seats) adjacent to that of the driver comes to us from the American "old"/"wild" west. Aside from a railroad ticket, Stagecoach was the only means of transport during this period. Stagecoaches were also a common means of transporting things of value (eg... payroll money, high ticket merchandise). In this period of lawlessness and hostile (with every right) natives, protection was necessary. Admittedly most people back then were packing some heat, but for added safety, a stagecoach would always have an extra man. He would sit right next to the driver and was armed with a shotgun. This was known as riding shotgun; hence we have “shotgun” to call the front seat of a vehicle.
