This weekend at the range, an off-duty SWAT officer was in the next lane sighting in a rifle. At the end of the day we were the last two people there, along with the range safety officer, and he offered to let me shoot his MP5-A3.
Very cool and one of the nicest guys I've ever meet.
About ten years ago, while driving home at 2:00 AM, I was falling asleep at the wheel and was pulled over. The cop noticed my mental state and asked me if I was aware I was going 60 MPH in a 35 zone. I wasn't. (Yes, I was that sleepy.) I apologized and told him that I was sorry for trying to drive home while so tired. He then just engaged in some small talk. Just ordinary stuff like what hobbies I had and current running movies. He let me go with a warning. Later, I realized that he was testing me to see if was awake enough to get home safely. Most enlightening of all was that half a mile down the road from where he pulled me over was a 25 MPH turn. If that cop hadn't pulled me over and woken me up there's no telling what would have happened.
