That's how I felt a few weeks ago when I got a speeding ticket on a country road near here. ( 'That's how you're going to look when the cops pull you over anyway.') I'm sixty but the motor cycle cop had to be at least five years older. He had me cold going 65 in a 45 zone in my Dodge RAM.

I told him the truth: "That's the first speeding ticket I've had since 1968! I was driving an Oldsmobile 442 then going 65 in a 45 zone." (Which, by the way, was only about 40 percent of that 442's capability.)

"Oh, you young punks always want to fly low," he said.

I drove home at the speed limit and wrote out my check for the $153 fine.

By the way, that's not a joke. I can't tell jokes. It's just the truth. My son in law says I drive so slow I can't even catch the icecream truck. That's also the truth.
