39. By today's standards, yes, but the standards of the 80's, no.

I once told a police officer my name was Arthur Rimjaub and I told the Border Patrol to fuck off at absolutely every opportunity. I suffered no consequences for this other than being told I was disrespectful and that I had lousy parents.

I was also involved in some pranks that would definitely result in charges today, such as dry ice in a school swimming pool, lowering a car into an empty swimming pool.

The stupidest thing I ever did was helping a friend "steal" their car back after it had been towed illegally. These assholes came right out and said that if we didn't pay immediately they were going to steal the stereo. But the police said it was a civil matter so... we just went and took it.

However the next morning when my dad found out I probably would have preferred to have been in jail or shot.
