I got stopped in a speed trap by a motorcycle cop. I had just come out of the grocery and was only doing 25 mph in a 20 zone. There were 5 other cars stopped besides me. The little cop walked up there and asked me why was I speeding through the streets of this town, terrorising innocent children with my reckless driving. I was momentairly speechless, desparately trying to control my temper because those innocent children he was going about liked to come out of the big old bush at the bend in the road and throw rocks at the cars passing. Many a driver had called the cops and this is what we got, a speed trap.

My answer to the cop was to take my Blue Bell ice cream that was melting in the paper sack and toss it on to his nice shiney black boots and proclaimed that my ice cream was melting. It was his turn to be speechless. He spat and sputtered for a few minutes, told me to get out of my vehicle I was under arrest for assaulting a police officer. I told him to kiss my ass on main street because I wasn't going to jail, I was sueing them for false imprisonment as well as damages to my fragile well being and my groceries. I told him he needed to call my neighbor, his captain, and explain why they had set up an illegal speed trap. He backed away from the truck and I left, at the posted speed limit of 20 miles an hour.

When I got home, my neighbor was waiting for me. He wasn't amused but he did say, that officer went over the line and next time, would I please get my ice cream in the car.
