GOOD:
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 a $40 bill. The police responded with another
mailed photo - of handcuffs.
BETTER:
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.)
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.
