Last Halloween I was hanging out with a few friends in Michigan. We were going to eat in the city, then head up to a Halloween party. Because we were heading directly to the party after eating, we were dressed up in costume as we walked down the streets towards the restraunt. One of my friends was dressed up as the guy from Reservoir Dogs. He was wearing a black suit with black glasses, and he had a fake pistol tucked behind his shirt.
Anyway, as we're walking, a cop car pulled up with two cops in it, one stays inside, and the other one - a fairly young guy, probably under 25 comes out and walks towards us.
Cop - Hi, what are you lads up to? (Bear in mind we're about the same age as this young cop)
Me - Just on our way to eat.
Cop - Where are you eating?
Me - *Restraunt name I forgot*
Cop - We've had reports of a couple of lads breaking into cars and stealing stereos around here, probably not you two since you didn't try to run [laughs], but do you mind if I search you?
Friend - Sure, but before we go any further, I just wanna let you know, I have a toy gun in my inside pocket as part of my costume.
Cop - Sure thing, if you just keep your hands at your sides I'll take the toy and look at it.
He opens my friend's jacket and takes the toy gun
Cop - Ha Ha, I'd be Johnny Top Banana at the station if this was real.
Friend - No, you'd be dead.
Cop - ...
Friend - ...
Cop - Yeah, well, I guess you guys can go now.
Most awkward and uncomfortable silence ever.
