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.
BETTER: 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 $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. She was laughing too hard to start her car
for several minutes.
