　　We were on our tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over．A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really wanted to give us some trouble at first．Looking at us, he said, “You were speeding．Where are you going in such a hurry?” Our guitarist(吉他手), Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show．Then his way towards us totally changed．He asked, “Oh, so you boys are in a music group?” We told him that we were．

　　He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of the music we played, and how long we had been at it．Suddenly, he stopped and said, ” Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don’t you?” Tim said, “Yes．” So the officer asked him to step out of the car．The rest of us, inside of the car, didn’t know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim．

　　Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car that he had parked in front of us．With that, he threw the car into reverse(倒车), stopping a few feet off our car．Now we suddenly felt nervous．We didn’t know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something．All of a sudden, the policeman’s voice came over his loudspeaker．He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90．” Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver．The policeman enjoyed the performance(演出), and set us on our way without a ticket．
