The Art of the Disappearing Act: Houdini-Esque Escapes (Not Recommended)
- The Ninja Vanish: Ever seen a tumbleweed disappear on a windy day? Channel your inner tumbleweed and blow yourself where the officer can't see you. Just remember, Oklahoma has a lot of wind...
- The Sewer Siren: Okay, this one's gross, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Let's just say the officer might be more inclined to let you "sleep it off" elsewhere. WARNING: This is not recommended for health reasons (or for olfactory reasons... for everyone involved).
Please note: These escape tactics are for humor only and may result in additional charges.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
The Art of Negotiation: Bargaining Your Way Out of a Charge
- The Compliment Offensive: Shower the officer with compliments. "Wow, those handcuffs look really official! Is that a new badge?" Be warned: Lay it on too thick and you might be mistaken for... well, intoxicated.
- The Cultural Immersion: Offer to teach the officer a few phrases in Okie slang. "Y'all alright there, partner? Mind if I just mosey on home?" This might work depending on the officer's sense of humor.
Pro Tip: These tactics are best used with a smile and a lighthearted demeanor.
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.

The Art of Obfuscation: Confusing the Officer with Sheer Silliness (Use with Caution)
- The Shakespearean Monologue: Launch into a dramatic soliloquy from Hamlet. The officer might be so bewildered they'll just let you go. Side effects: May cause uncontrollable laughter or spontaneous outbreaks of "To be or not to be?"
- The Limbo Contest: Challenge the officer to a limbo contest. This tactic requires a surprising amount of sobriety, so choose wisely.
Remember: These tactics should only be used if you're feeling particularly confident (and maybe a little bit foolish).
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
