> Well I just had an interesting run in with the man.

> Party at a friends in a couple hours, so I went off to find myself a mind-alteringly delicious beverage for the night. So I hop in my noble steed (92 Civic hatchback) and heard to the nearest fine retailer of the tastiest fluids money can buy (Liquor store). Upon selecting the best of the amber liquids I could find, I began to make my way to pay the excellent merchant, and happened upon an officer of the law, who eyed me curiously. This is where my story takes it's turn.

> Upon showing him what I intended to purchase, he gave me THE NOD.

> Now, when you are dealing with a Police Officer. There are generally three separate types of "THE NOD". The instances and descriptions will follow below.
>
> 1) A short mechanical tilt of the head straight down, and back up. This is purely business. Generally you see this just after getting a warning for a speeding violation, or some other general jackassery/asshattery.
>
> 2) A long, drawn out slant of the head to the RIGHT side. This is normally reserved for those who have pushed their jackassery much to far. These are normally followed with a few choice words, rap on the noggin' with a baton, night in jail, or a very large fine.
>
> 3) Again, a bit drawn out, normally the left eye is at least half closed, and is accompanied by a smirk, pursed lips are also not uncommon. Don't worry, you're not in trouble and he isn't going to give you his number. You've just received the most coveted of NODS. These are normally a sign of great respect, and admiration. These are the kind of nods you get when the officer realizes, you're going to be up to the same shenanigans he'd be up to if he wasn't at work. Or when he knows you might be planning to get a little tweaked later that evening and partake in some of the afor mentioned asshattery he can no longer partake in due to his current profession.

> Be proud if you have received this nod. For it is a clear sign you have made the right choice.
