It was 1994 or so. I was driving through RI in my 71 Pantera. Summer, sun shining, not a soul in sight and I was flying. Then I notice the flashing lights in the mirror. I pull over infront of an exit, the trooper gets out of his cruiser, slams the door and yells for me to pull in FRONT of the exit. I calmly do so all the while watching him in my rear view. Lo and behold, officer friendly has locked himself out of his cruiser. Do I select first gear, politely wave and motor away? Nah, I knew he didn't catch me on radar so it must be an aircraft somewhere. I didn't find out how he got me till I got to court:

Officer: "your honor I was parked on a bridge when I saw a Red sports car, which I thought was a Ferrari, pass under me at a high rate of speed so I gave chase"

Judge: "The area you pulled him over at was 4 miles from the bridge you were parked on. Why do you think he was running from you?"

Officer: "He wasn't running from me, mamn, He was going so fast I couldn't catch him till he slowed down to 120 or so because of traffic."

Judge: " how fast do you think he was going"

Officer: " My cruiser tops out at 128 so I estimate 150 or so"

Lady behind the counter: "OoooohWeee! I ain't nevah seen no fy hunned dollah ticket befoe."

I don't go that fast on public roads any more.

Is that what a RI accent sounds like??

Cag -

has someone been to despair.com ? :D

I get their "demotivator" calendar every year. It's up in my classroom and my students love it.

(See if you go there you'll know what I mean, and since I work in a school with all of those stupid posters up, you get the picture)

There are no stupid questions. But there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

I love despair dot com.
