This really happened it was in 1969 I was 19.

Back in the day living a riotous life in London I used to walk along Park Lane almost nightly I was living in Paddington but went out in Mayfair Often as I passed the Grosvenor Hotel there was a ball. One Night appropriately dressed I gate crashed Very soon I was asked to dance a waltz and as we dipped and bowed around the floor I found out that he was a policeman. Quickly saying ty I moved on to my next partner Only to discover that yes he too was a policeman this set a trend I had only gate crashed the police ball tail tucked between my legs I beat a hasty retreat. I suppose the lesson I learned was very important always be honest in all of your dealings. It had a large impact on my life over the course of time taught me values that are now second nature.
