SPEEDING TICKETS

GOOD, BETTER, BEST-----SPEEDING TICKETS

1) GOOD

An Erie, PA policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem. A twelve year boy was standing up the highway with a hand painted sign, which read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD ''. The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign that read "TIPS" and a bucket full of money. (And we used to sell lemonade.)


2) BETTER

A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Pittsburgh PA. A forty dollar speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he mailed the police department a picture of forty dollars. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.


3) BEST

A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the PA State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said "I bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the State Troopers Ball." He replied, "Pennsylvania 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 too hard to start the car.
