A to Z April Challenge Letter P
Pants. My daughter Selena is an officer of the law. Police officers always have the funniest stories!! My favorite has to be “These aren’t my PANTS”
Selena says that more times than you could ever imagine possible when a suspect is being frisked, the suspects will say “These aren’t my pants.”
Really?? Where is this magic pile of pants that suspects can find? Is there a pile of missing socks too?
Where can I find this mystical pile of pants? Do they come in my size? Is there drugs and money in each pair? Do you have to leave a pair to pick a pair? Does it take money to get these pants?
So, in our family if something is missing…. or sometimes for no reason at all, you’ll hear “These aren’t my pants!!”
P is for Pants.
A to Z Challenge: Blog everyday except Sunday (per the rules) with my theme being what makes me happy, what inspires me and what makes me ME!!! So be prepared for more information about me than you ever wanted to know!!

Connie,
Crazy story. I want to read more of your posts so will do so later. I see you have them all listed, so easy to find.
I’m impressed that you’ve commented on 180 blogs. Wow! I’ve been doing quite a few too, but not near that many. Too much going on at my house, but then recovering from surgery is no fun either.
Get well soon. Thanks for visiting me. In fact, I’m going to follow so I don’t lose track of you.

I loved your post Connie. That is a funny story and I bet she has a bag full of stories waiting to be heard. I also congratulate you. 800 blogs. You are amazing. I hope you are recovering from surgery. Thank you for stopping by my blog!
Happy A-Z. Only a week or so left.
Your Sherlock buddy,

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog (http://janiceperson.com). I am impressed with the posts you are doing! great topics and to do them along with so much other content…. well, you are spurring me to get on the move with my catching up since travel this week left me a bit behind.
Not my jacket… I can see that but not my pants? Too strange!

That is hilarious. It would be nice–since they’re obviously not concerned with the believability of the lie–if they put some creativity into it. Perhaps an alien abduction during which their pants were replaced with an exact replica pair that happened to be unfortunately full of contraband?
As someone who works in a halfway house for recovering addicts and alcoholics, I’ve heard some doozies, too, believe me.
Connie Gruning
Oh I love that!! Aliens gave me these pants!!!
I’ll bet you have some crazy stories!!

It must be hard for a police officer not to laugh when hearing that! Love your description, very funny!!
Connie Gruning
I can’t imagine keeping a straight face! Not to mention keeping myself from rolling my eyes! A slap on the back of the head and WHAT?!?! Ya… not police material here!

That’s pretty funny. I’d have to wonder at all these people wearing borrowed pants all the time.
And thanks for stopping by my site earlier! Glad you were enjoying the story!

Ewwww why?! WHY would you want someones dirty grungy pants anyway?!
LOL!! ewwwww gives me an all over body shudder!

Funny. I used to watch “Cops” and saw them say that a lot. I never pictured a big pile of pants though.
Visiting from AtoZ.
Connie Gruning
It’s all I can picture! LOL! Course the pile of pants I’m picturing are NOT as clean as the pile I used. Nope… not a pretty picture in my head!
Ari T
That is such a weird thing to say as a defense. It really does make you wonder about the supposed pile of clean pants that the culprit managed to not wear that day. Thanks for sharing! It really did make me laugh. I’m sure your daughter has many more funny stories up her sleeve.
Connie Gruning
I think I could have done the A to Z challenge with her stories! Hummmm if I do this next year….. hummmmm
Diane K.Brimmer
LOL that’s funny! I bet she’s heard some really good ones. I pray,”Lord, keep Selena, safe by night and by day! Thanks fro sharing some of her funny stories.
Connie Gruning
Thank you Diane! I love you to pieces!!
ann
Im sure being a police officer she has heard many a funny answers. Cute story.
She could probably write a book on dumb responses from criminals .
Connie Gruning
She really should. Her stories crack us UP!!
Tammy S
I love it! It is always some “friends” pants. How stupid do the think the police are.
Connie Gruning
Still cracks me up!
slehan
Shouldn’t it be: Those aren’t MY pants.?

Connie Gruning
You would think…. but, since the criminals are wearing them at the time! It is: “These aren’t my pants”
Veronica Lee
LOL! That is so funny! Your daughter really should consider writing a book or blog on dumb responses from criminals!
Connie Gruning
She really should! She has some VERY funny stories!!
Donna
Funny but sad. I’ve watched a few of the COPS shows, and it’s just ridiculous what they think you will fall for – like the excuse that they didn’t know there were drugs in the car that their friend let them borrow, but they don’t know their friend’s name, and no these pants aren’t theirs either…etc., etc..
Jen Forbes
Very funny!
Patricia Bacon
Haha, that is a funny story. Your daughter must have an eventful career. Good for her to be able to pick on the humour in life’s trials and tribulations. Love your theme and your blog. Am now a follower!!
Patricia, Sugar & Spice & All Things ? Nice
Paula
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the absurdness of this.
Good P post

I used to teach life skills classes in our local jail, before I had kids. I would be locked in a room with twenty inmates and then tell them why they needed to take responsibility for their life. All of them had the most ridiculous excuses for why they were locked up, and they were all naturally innocent. After I would leave I would laugh and laugh at the creative and completely idiotic explanations those guys would come up with. If they put half of that effort into being a productive member of society they would never want for money.
Connie Gruning
Isn’t that the truth!! Using half that energy on something productive and they would be rich!!
I’ll bet you could write a book on the stories you heard!
Wendy H
That is HILARIOUS! I’ll bet you get a lot of funny stories. Which seems fair, given her line of work, I’m sure she gets more than enough of the other kinds.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Nice to meet you through the A to Z!

This made me giggle. Lucy from Lucy’s Reality
Rossandra White
Hahahahahaha! Actually, come to think of it, sounds like something my youngest son would’ve said, before he became a CEO.
Connie Gruning
That’s funny.

Loved this! Wish I could find a pile of pants somewhere!

Where is this pile of pants indeed? Great post!
Jodie
What a great story! Good luck with the rest of the challenge! Jodie sothisis40-really.blogspot.com

And I thought excuses I heard for folks not paying their taxes on time were funny! Like, ‘my mother-in-law moved in and I can’t seem to concentrate.’
Wendy H
Also hilarious, Denise! People are funny.
elingregory
This is a funny post made a little more risque by the fact that in the UK pants mean underwear. 🙂 Am giggling happily now.
Connie Gruning
That makes this post even funnier to me!! I can’t wait to share that with my daughter!
Jennifer Dysart
hahahaha! People sure are classic, thanks for the chuckle
