So tonight several of my friends and I were sitting outside on my good buddy's covered porch sitting around his nice propane fire pit, smoking our pipes. When all of a sudden we here sirens all around us. Being a smaller town in the northwest we assumed that maybe there was some sort of car accident or something, but the sirens started getting closer. I said they are coming here I bet. Well, all of a sudden we see the lights turn onto the street and there was two fire trucks, the fire chief and a couple squad cars pull up. We were sitting there puffing away. The firemen jump out and expecting to see a fire somewhere but no just 5 guys with there pipes and a small ornamental fire pit. The cops and fire marshall come walking up and tell us they got a report of smoke pot smoker setting a house on fire. Well, we said no were are just five chaps who are enjoying a smoke and some discussion amongst one another. The cops asked what we were smoking and we said well it is not weed. Take a whiff, most of the guys smoke aros so there was a nice sweet smell in the air and the fire chief...says well I smell some nice pipe tobacco here. He looks at us and tells us next time invite me and I will sit an have a smoke with you all. So we were blamed for being pot heads and setting fires tonight. You know us pipe smokers with our bad reps and all.
