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. (And we used to just sell
lemonade.)
BETTER:
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated
radar post. 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.
