Good, Better, Best........and personal experience...
Good:
A policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting
many. Then, he discovered the problem - a 10-year old boy was
standing up the road with a hand painted sign which read "RADAR TRAP
AHEAD". The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with
a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of change.
Better:
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated
radar. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the
police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another
mailed photo -- of handcuffs.
Best:
A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the motorcycle
officer walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she
said, "I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the Highway Patrolmen's
Ball." He replied, "Highway patrolmen don't have balls." There was a moment
of silence while she smiled, and he realized what he'd just said. He
then closed his book, got back on his motorcycle and left. She was laughing
too hard to start her car for several minutes.
Personal Experience:
When I was in college and working a part time job, after a particularly long night,(maybe that is a story for the dates thread!) I was late for work in the morning. I was zipping along, not giving it a thought that I was going through a 15mph school zone. I stopped at the stop sign. I noticed the man in front of me looking in his rear view mirror and then down to his seat.....this happened twice. I was a little concerned. The I seen him pick up a hat from the seat beside him, and put it on.
Sure enough it was a policeman. He gets out of the car, comes back and ask for my drivers license and insurance card. He continues on saying....Do you realize you were just in a school zone. How fast were you going ?
With out hesitation I replied, "I don't know...how fast were you going?? I was following you. When I realized what I said.....I figured I was in big trouble now.
He just looked at me and said...."Well, just slow it down next time,"
then turned and walked away... |
