Things {A Speeding Ticket} Has Taught Me


:: Even though you've never been caught before, doesn't mean you never will. Invincibility is worn most comfortably by teenaged boys.

:: Standing in the line marked "Bonds, Criminal Complaints and Other Citations" made me feel kind of nauseated.

:: The cruise control on my car actually works. I know, right?

:: Using the aforementioned cruise control boosts your gas mileage. Who knew?? (you mean getting there faster doesn't actually save gas?? just kidding. . .)

:: I don't like spending money on nothing.

:: When the amicable Deputy Sheriff hands you a citation and then says, "Have a nice day," I think she may be poking fun at your expense. Literally.

:: That it will be a heck of a long time before my improved gas mileage equals $115 bucks. . .

Do your speeding in Kentucky. I can get one of these "fixed" for you down there.

Try this one on for size: It's your birthday(and also a holiday)and you're on your way to a family gathering first thing in the morning when you spot the highway patrol car going in the opposite direction...but, alas, too little, too late. The infamous u-turn is executed and the citaion given...along with the traditional "Happy Birthday" and " I hope the rest of your birthday goes better than the morning did." Now that takes the (birthday) cake!
