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.)

A motorist was mailed a picture of his car
speeding through an automated radar post.
A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute,
he sent the police
department a picture of $40.00.
The police responded with another mailed photo
of handcuffs.

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.
