NOT FAMOUS ENOUGH
So you're alone in the chauffer-driven limo, toking on a joint. But the limo is speeding. A state trooper clocks it, pulls its over on Route 28 not far from Woodstock, N.Y., and gets a whiff of that joint you were smoking. You are Art Garfunkel, pop star. Next thing you know you're being searched, and the trooper finds marijuana in your right pocket. Not to worry, you won't be doing time. It's a $100 fine, max, and you just have to mail it in. But here's the really embarrassing part, as reported by the local newspaper: "State police Capt. Louis Barbaria Jr. said the trooper didn't realize who he arrested until later, even though Garfunkel identified himself as a celebrity."
