Cops Found My Hookah!

[quakerotis]

Yeah, so I was on my way to Myrtle Beach a couple of weeks ago when I randomly got pulled over (I was going 4 over the speed limit, which is EVIL apparently) and the cops decided to search my car, no big deal right? Well upon searching through piles of trash in my backseat he finds some of my shisha that I had in a tupperware thing. He procedes to open it, sniff it, do the "hmm?" expression, and sniff it again. He then looks at me and asks, "you lettin' your raisins dry out, boy?" I almost burst out into laughter, but keep it in. My reply was a simple, "umm...no." He then goes through my trunk where my hookah is. He takes it out the case, does another "hmm?" thing, and then asks me about it. I tell him all about what hookahs are, yada yada, you smoke the "dried raisins" out of it, etc. He quickly follows with "you smoke marijuana out of this too, right?" I of course say no, which is true. We actually talked about it for a few minutes, because he had never heard of hookahs before. In the end, I didn't get any tickets, even though my insurance card was expired...but thank goodness I knew some hookah history because that may not have gone so well.

I'm new to the Hookah Forum (and forums period, for that matter) but from the stuff I've read so far I'm very happy to be here! -Ryan E. Columbia, SC

Thats pretty funny. Its always nice to hear of such stories that end well. A week ago or so I was carrying my hookah into my brothers apartment and I see this Blazer drive, and the passenger practically had his face plastered to the window, looking at me. The next thing I know the car has hit the brakes and they get out, and the driver says "Daaaaaaaaaaamn duuuuuude! Thats a nice bong! You're gonna have to let me rip that later!" and all I could say is "Its a hookah." the passenger says "Oh... a hookah..." and the driver says "What? Its only a double?" and all i could say (again) was "Its a hookah." and the driver says "What?" and the passenger says "You smoke tobacco out of a hookah. Lets roll outta here." My brother and my sister-in-law both thought that this was absolutely hilarious. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the Forum! Thanks for the story. It's always nice to hear about people being open minded and not assuming that people use their hookahs for nefarious purposes.

I'm guessing you were on I-95 -- the cops there are ridiculous (they drive Mustangs and Camaros instead of regular cop cars). Edited July 10, 2007 by ahwahoo2006

HaHa great stories! Mine goes as follows: We are at a tobacco shop and I tell my wife I wanna buy a Hookah, so we go look at em and she keeps saying it looks like a bong, the store owner over hears this and he wont stop with the bong jokes, he was actually very funny. His associate explains to my wife the history about the hookah, how it compares to smoking cigarettes etc etc(my Wife smokes cigarettes) in the end I bought what I wanted and as we are checking out the store owner blurts out " I see you decided to by the bong" he did it with a smile of course, he knew it made my wife uncomfortable but it was a playful exchange. My wife took it like a good sport and laughed about it on the way to the car. Now if my wife was uptight, that would have been a weird way to clse the sale,but it was funny.

I haven't had an actual confrontation, but I live in an apartment building where the avg age is... oh I dunno... like 70. There's a ton of old people here, this might as well be a retirement home. Strangely enough it's walking distance from Florida International University, where I just graduated from and will be working at starting Aug 10th... anyway, the point is my roommate and I always smoke out in the balcony, and every single time we see people staring up at us. Often times if we're drunk or tipsy while smoking, we'll start making weed remarks when we notice people staring at us.
