Okay, listen to this. Today, MIckey got a speeding ticket. 40MPH in a 25 MPH zone and rightfully so, but I would like to show you a comparison.
Mickey had an absolutely clean record. Never had an accident or moving violation until today in all her driving years. On the car was my Viet Nam Service License plate, a Sheriff Department Decal signifying a supporter of the Sheriff's Department, and a Marine Corp. Decal. On her license is the "Safe Driver" conotation for never having an accident or ticket. Yet the Deputy considered none of these things and gave her a ticket for $185.00.
Last month, Hulk Hogan the pro wrestler's son was drag racing on a city street here and wrapped his car around a tree critically injuring his passenger. A week before he was pulled over three times in one night for driving in excess of 100 miles per hour and wasn't ticketed the first two times and now it comes out that he has been pulled over multiple times for excess speed and never ticketed because the officers recognized the name and knew who he was.
This is one reason I have such disdain for the rich and famous. They break the laws of the land and get away with it because of celebrity status while the commoner is punished for the same violations.

Well Mickey knew she was wrong and I'm sorry that the officer gave her a ticket, but it happens evey day no matter what you have on your car.
As for the hulk he better hope that young man gets better because no matter what he will be paying through the nose because of his son & himself.

Or you could try a friendly line that my friends girlfriend used on a cop after she got pulled over...
"Don't you have anything better to do like eat some <censored> donuts and catch bad guys?!"
Surprisingly, he didnt let her off with just a warning...

TONY THATS NOT FAIR.
ONCE I STOPPED A GUY FOR A MOVING VIOLATION AND HE SAID WITH A YIDDISH ACCENT,
"CANT YOU GIVE ME A GOOD SCARE" I TURNED AROUND SLOWLY AND I SAID BOO.!!!
AND WE BOTH LAUGHED LIKE HE-L.
I LET HIM GO,
I MADE A FRIEND, AND IF I NEEDED HELP OUT IN THE STREET
I FEEL HE WOULD AT LEAST CALL IN FOR HELP.
MY MOTTO OUT IN THE MEAN STREETS OF HARLEM ORTHE SOUTH BRONX IS MAKE A FRIEND OF PEOPLE YOU DEALT WITH.
SOME PEOPLE YOU CANT MAKE FRIENDS WITH THEN ITS A DIFFERENT STORY.

Well, I am ready to send in the fine to the state. Mickey will attend the Safe Driving class and avoid the loss of 4 points off her license and the fine will be reduced from $185.00 to $160.00. Hopefully there will be no increase in our insurance for this violation, but these insurance company's look for every excuse to squeeze more money out of you, so we'll see about that.
Still can't believe Mickey had a lead foot yesterday. She's normally a very defensive driver. Oh well....there's a first time for everything I guess. Besides, this donation to the state will help pay for services and maintain the state prison.

Twenty or so years ago I was stopped for going 43mph in a 30 mile zone. It was my first time and I was so nervous I started crying and blurted out off the top of my head to the officer that I just found out I was pregnant and couldn't wait to tell my husband. He let me off with a warning and congratulations. (Shamefully, I wasn't pregnant at all, I just made it up spontaneously). I never got stopped again, but if it ever happens, at 58 years old I'd better come up with another excuse!!

Good one Marylou. I was stopped only once for speeding and I really deserved the ticket. I missed my exit and saw the police on the other side of 84. When I got back on I continued to speed. Needless to say they stopped me. I was so nervous, I couldn't even talk. All of a sudden, the other officer in the car called to the officer near my car - "come on, we just got a call". He growled and threw my papers at me and they both sped off!!!! Driving since 1964 and never a ticket, except for a double parking ticket while getting medicine for my son. (that doesn't count does it?)
