A bit of rain tonight, though not bad. I was almost home, about 3 blocks remaining between me and a hot meal, when the traffic on 5th Ave in Brooklyn was stalled at the bus stop at 9th St. I weaved through the "parking lot", passed a NYPD patrol car, and came up alongside a white minivan with a coupla teens/twentysomethings inside--they were double-parked near the bus stop. The cop realized they were the holdup and started his/her siren. Short bursts, y'know: whoop, whoop, whoop...

As I passed the minivan the driver started to move the vehicle, then I heard the passenger say, "We gotta pick up Eddie!" Driver: "Da WooWooWoo is dere!" and I think to myself "WooWooWoo?"...WTF?

I hope the cop got a good laugh; I sure did...
