Halloween 2011
I was at a conference in San Francisco, bar hopping with fellow attendees, when the German guy gets out a pipe and starts packing it with weed. We decide this is an excellent idea and take it in turns having (admittedly small) bowls as we are wandering to the next bar. While distracted by the weed we cross the road at a clear point, not realising it was clear because of the two phalanxes of coppers 15 metres to our sides. They rush over and start shouting at us, asking what the fuck we were thinking.

Hm.

I turn to the German, the only way out of this is to go for ignorance: I ask "Was ists?" and he dials his accent up to the max and says "Vat iss wrong, vat vere ve doing, officer?"

"You can't cross here, you need to go to the corner and wait for the light!"

I do love the word "phalanx"

Always thought it was weird, standing in the street in SF smoking weed
...because that looked less suspicious than smoking in the bar itself.
