I don't give a damn about your parade

As if having to sit through 3.5 hours of California Civil Procedure on a Saturday isn't bad enough.... There was a freakin' parade through Old Town Clovis this morning which is where the law school is located. The cops would not let me through to get to the law school and kept directing me around in circles. In my somewhat frazzled state I finally got a bit stern with one officer who started to direct me back to the same circle I had just come from.

Me: "I need to get to San Joaquin College of Law on Clovis and 5th- How do I do that?"

Cop: "Well darlin' if you'll just make a right you can follow the detour."

Me: "I already tried the detour- the detour never gets me to where I need to go."

Cop: "Well we'll be opening the streets back up after the parade is over at 12."

Me: "I have class now. I am studying for the bar exam. I need to get there NOW." (thinking but not saying.... I don't give a damn about your stupid parade)

Cop: "Oh (a bit taken aback and motioning for back-up) I guess I can wave you on through."

Yeah, that's what I thought. Now I won't sue you.
