Laughter is the best medicine
Speeding Ticket
A
police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, "I clocked
you at 80 miles an hour, sir."
The driver says, "Gee officer, I had the cruise control set on 60.
Maybe your radar needs calibrating."
Not
looking up from her knitting, the wife says sweetly from the passenger
seat, "Now don't be silly, dear. You know this car doesn't have cruise
control."
As
the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife
and growls, "Can't you keep your mouth shut for once?"
The
wife smiles demurely and says, “You should be thankful your radar
detector went off when it did."
As
the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar
detector, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth,
"Darn it woman, can't you keep quiet?"
The
officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're not wearing your
seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine."
The
driver says, "Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but I took it
off when you pulled me over so I could get my license out of my back
pocket."
The
wife says," Now dear, you know very well that you didn't have your
seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving." And
as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns
to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP??"
The
officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always
talk to you this way, Ma'am?"
"Oh, heavens no, Officer, only when he has been drinking."
