Since I mentioned it...
We we were doing duty at the CG station in Bean town, part of what I was doing was searching cars coming on to the base.
Most of the kids coming in were being called back from leave, etc. so some of them were really rushed in reporting.
This one kid came in and I swear he had his entire life in the car. He apologized, saying that he and his girlfriend were in the process of moving and he hadn't had time to empty the car out. So, we started the process of moving things around and I did the open and look thing, starting in his back seat. Then we moved on to the trunk. We pulled out boxes and stuff and I opened them and peaked in, moving things around, etc.
Well...he had an ammo can in there. I looked at it and then looked at him questioningly before I reached for it. He began to turn crimson and began to stutter. As I started to pull the latch open, he said, "Oh God, this is so embarassing...that's, um, my, um, girlfriends and mine...oh god, I'm really embarrassed...." As I opened the can and looked in, I saw quite a collection of "toys". I did my damndest to keep from laughing as this kid was fighting not to crawl under the car. I locked it up and set it back where it was. I then patted his shoulder and suggested to him that he might want to empty some things out of the car before he had to report back in since car searches would be continuing.
"Oh, yes ma'am! Absolutely. As SOON as I get home end of shift. Yes, ma'am, thank you ma'am!"
I had to walk away from the area as I was laughing my butt off.
