What do you do when a burly cop from Los Angeles signals you to stop because you’ve absentmindedly forgotten that seatbelts are there to keep your head from banging into the windshield? Talk your way out of it, quick!

At least, that’s what good old Simon Cowell did when this situation happened to him. Instead of being antagonistic or what not, the American Idol figure just waved his majestic and illustrious hand and the cop was of course, mesmerized. Talk about timing- if Idol had never went on air, Mr. Cowell would probably be having a rougher time of it on the outside world.
