I had a similar incident years ago. I was visiting the shack along with a couple of friends on a day when Prince Charles [of Great Britain] just happened to be visiting. We got up to the shack, and while I was inside, one of my friends opened the door and stepped outside for a moment. She came back in the shack looking rather pale and said that some SWAT team member on the biology building yelled at her to ``get off the roof of the building now!'' We packed up and left, all the while being suspiciously eyed by the cops. I didn't even know that Prince Charles was visiting ENS that day, and there was no sign on the roof door requesting that no one go out there!

My brush with the long arm of the law.

Honestly officer, I'm not a member of the IRA, I just HAVE an IRA!
