I grabbed a drink with an old friend of mine last weekend. He works as a police officer in a nearby county and we got to talking about the excuses people give when they're pulled over for speeding.
"The best one I've ever heard," he said, "was from this young kid I pulled over doing forty-three in a thirty. I had just been in a bad mood all day so I sauntered up to the driver's side and said, 'Son, I've been waiting for you all day.' The kid smiled a little and replied, 'I'm sorry, Officer. I got here as fast as I could.'" My friend, the young police officer, laughed. "The kid made me laugh, made my day, really, so I let him off with a warning."
