A woman got pulled over for speeding by a California Highway Patrol
motorcycle officer. When he walked up to her window and opened his
ticket book she said, "I bet you're going to sell me tickets to the
Highway Patrol Ball." He replied, "No, Ma'am, highway patrolmen don't
have balls." There followed a moment of silence while she smiled and
he realized what he had said. Without saying another word, he closed
his book, got back on his motorcycle and left. True story from
Humboldt County.

A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that
measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later
received in the mail, a ticket for $40.00, and a photo of his car.
Instead of the payment, he sent the police department a photograph
of two $20.00 bills. Several days later, he received a letter from
the police department that contained another picture, of a pair of
handcuffs. True story from Orange County.

Speeding Ticket: A man was driving home late one afternoon, and he
was driving above the speed limit. He notices a police car with its
red lights flashing in his rear view mirror. He thinks, "I can outrun
this guy," so he floors it and the race is on. The cars are racing
down the highway -- 60, 70, 80, 90 miles an hour. Finally, as his
speedometer passes 100, the guy figures, "What the heck," and gives
up. He pulls over to the curb. The police officer gets out of his
cruiser and approaches the car. He leans down and says, "Listen
mister, I've had a really lousy day, and I just want to go home. Give
me a good excuse and I'll let you go." The man thought for a moment
and said, "A few weeks ago, my wife ran off with a police officer.
When I saw your cruiser in my rear view mirror, I thought it was him
coming after me to give her back!" The officer let him go. True story
from LA County.
