I was driving through Seattle the other day, searching in vain for a coffee shop, when I was pulled over by a local constable. I thought he was stopping me for too much rubber-necking in my search, but he informed me I would be ticketed for not displaying a 12th man or Seahawks flag. Looking around I realized that I was the only car without one. Thinking as fast as I could without my caffeine fix, I pointed out that the 7 and 5 in my license plate added up to 12. After seeing on my drivers license that I lived in Everett he let me off with just a warning.
I hightailed it for home as fast as I could, but when I got there a crowd had formed outside my house. When they saw me they pummeled me with properly inflated official NFL footballs because I didn’t have a 12th man or Seahawks flag displayed on my house. I looked around and saw that I had the only house in the neighborhood without one. I went straight to the store to stock up on flags, tattoos and twelfie sunglasses. I’m letting this be a message, Go Hawks.
