We lived close to a cherry orchard. Before the cherries completely ripen they make a really funny sound when you throw them at cars (kinda like paintballs). So (naturally) we would throw these cherries at the cars passing by at night, and they'd screech to a hault and then slowly drive off.
But one bigger car stopped and didn't move on...it was a COP...one of those K9 unit guys. Our eyes got really big and we just froze hoping he wouldn't see us. The guy got out, spotted us and then opened the door for the dog. That dog didn't exactly sound like he wanted to make friends. I have never run so fast in my life. We jumped a fence into a horse pasture (that barbed wire did NOT feel good) and got away from the dog...and I guess the cop too.
