GOOD:
In
Richardson , a Texas State Trooper was running radar. He had a perfect
spot to watch for speeders, but he wasn't getting many. but he wasn't
getting many. Then he discovered the problem. A 12-year-old boy was
standing up the road with a hand-painted sign that read 'RADAR TRAP
AHEAD!!! The officer then found the boy's young accomplice down the
road with a sign reading, 'TIPS' and a bucket full of money. (And we
used to just sell lemonade!)
BETTER:
A
motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated
radar post in Plano , Texas. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being
cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police
responded through the mail with a photo of handcuffs.
BEST:
A
young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the Texas State Trooper
walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said,
'I'll bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the Texas State Police
Ball. He replied, "Texas State Troopers 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 in his patrol car and left. She was
laughing so hard, was a few minutes before she could start her car.
