Rockingham Remembered
Speeding Cars!
A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer
says,  "I clocked  you at 80 mile per hour, sir." The
driver says, "Gee, officer, I had it on  cruise control
at 60, perhaps your radar needs calibrating."
Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: "Now
don't be silly, dear, you know that this car doesn't
have cruise control."



As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks
over at his wife and growls, "Can't you please keep your
mouth shut for once?"  The wife smiles demurely and
says, "You should be thankful your radar detector went
off when it did."



As the officer makes out the second ticket for the
illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife
and says through clenched teeth, "Damn it, woman,
can't you keep your mouth shut?"

The officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're
not wearing your seat  belt, sir. That's an automatic
$75 fine."



The driver says, "Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it
on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that
could get my license out of my back pocket."  The wife
says," Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't
have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt
when you're driving."  

And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket
the driver turns  to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T
YOU PLEASE SHUT UP??" The officer looks over at
the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk  to
you this way, Ma'am?"



"Oh, heavens no, officer. Only when
he's been drinking."
