    At seventeen I once blew through a stop sign while driving with ski boots on and got off with a warning. The stupid mistakes we make as teenagers...

    According to the "Society for Barefoot Living", it's "not prohibited".

    Other googling sources appear to say it's ok in MN. I find it hard to believe the cop would have missed my shoes on the floor of the passenger side. That's the window he walked up to, he had to have smelled them.

    I also smelled a skunk in the vicinity when I pulled over. I thought for sure he was going to tear my car apart.

    There must have been a lot of skunks at the last few PJ shows I've been to....

    Ha! That wasn't a euphemism, though. Actually smelled like dead skunk.

    The character "Hawkeye" in The Last of the Mohicans is also known as "Natty BUMP-o." (That's actually true. Great book. Awful movie).

    Air freshener related cop story:
    One night I got pulled over on my way home from a friends house. I had a headlight out, which my buddy informed me of when I pulled into his driveway earlier that evening. So, the cop comes up to my window (Maryland State Tfc) and gives me the whole "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Of course, I answered honestly and told him I just noticed it earlier that night. Then, of course, since it was late at night he had to ask me if I had been drinking (I hadn't), where I was coming from, where I was going, etc. The typical questions. His last one caught me really off guard though, and he seemed way more concerned about it than what anyone ever should be. "I noticed a smell of cake in your car. Any idea what that might be?" I had a few smart ass answers to give him (I don't know, is cake illegal? Maybe it's the donut on your upper lip., etc.) but I just kept my mouth shut and looked at him like wtf? And he just stood there like he was waiting on me to answer. All I could think was I had a fairly new vanilla air freshener, so I told him it was probably that. He said "Yeah, could be I suppose" then went back to the car to write my work order. To this very day, I have no idea why he was so concerned about cake smell.

    He was looking and hoping for a bribe.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    He was thinking you were covering up the smell of something with an air freshener...

    That's the only thing I can think of... maybe he thought I was trying to mask weed odor. Or maybe he just wanted to ask another arbitrary question to get me to talk more & try to notice alcohol on my breath. He would've been 0 for 2 and I still think it was just weird.

    He was hoping you had a copy of Fashion Nugget in your glove box.

    I have Vanilla scented Ozium in my car...works pretty well.

    Once got pulled over by a cop in high school who should have smelled the alcohol emanating from me & my friends in the car. I went to school with his son and asked him about it the next day. He said his dad used to work in a shop painting cars. It destroyed his sense of smell, and I lived to fight another day.
