We've all been there: drinks and dancing, flirtation and whispered endearments, powerful urges leading to a "right now, right here" imperative. So it was with a couple of Lehigh University students who, apparently unable to contain themselves long enough to get to an indoor venue, pulled off into a dark parking lot to consummate their urgent love.
In situations like that, of course, it's easy to miss things. Who among us hasn't realized, after-the-fact, that our chosen mate was unattractive, or covered with vomit, or that there was a corporate picnic going on just a few feet away in one of the park's shelters? Or something, it's always something.
Anyway, here's a list of the things our Lehigh University students missed on their way to their sloppy, inevitably regrettable reward:
- Police cars
That's right: In a world of dark playgrounds, empty office parks, and traffic-free cul de sacs, our Lehigh University students chose the Hellertown, Pennsylvania, police station parking lot as their emergency trysting spot. In fact, they chose a handicapped space in the Hellertown police station parking lot, that being the only parking place in the lot not occupied by patrol cars.
A passerby noticed the suspicious car there and called the cops. The cops moseyed out and, no doubt amid much professionally suppressed laughter, arrested the car's driver for drunk driving.
There is no word on whether there will be a second date.
