Story:

A friend and I are riding rented motorbikes (yea yea) in Thailand. There's no such thing as a traffic infraction, so he was a bit surprised when a cop on foot signalled him to pull over. I was ahead and got the story later.

The first thing out of the cop's mouth is an offer: "you looking for girl, boy, good time?". My friend says "no", he tries to market it a little more: "very young, nice" etc., etc..

My buddy gives him a firm "NO!", at which point the cop tells him that it's unfortunate, because he broke the law by driving the wrong way on a one-way road. "What are you talking about?" my friend replies.

The cop pulls out a piece of paper, draws an arrow on it and holds it up--"see, one way". My friend knows the drill and pulls out a piece of monetary paper. Story over.

Yep, Thai cops.
