angel_crafter spun a FINE 'yarn':
>*Speeding Excuses*
>
>Philadelphia's Highway Patrol officers hear all kinds of creative
>excuses that drivers give for speeding. Here are some of the officers'
>favorites. By the way, none of them worked.
>
>A man told the officer he was rushing to the hospital because had been
>stung by a bee, and was allergic. "There's the bee right there," he
>said, pointing to his dashboard. The officer looked. The bee was not
>only dead, but in a advanced state of decomposition.
>
>A man was doing 70 mph on the shoulder of I-95, avoiding the bumper-to-
>bumper traffic. After a third of a mile, he was stopped by an officer.
>He jumped out of the car, brushing off his pants, and told the cop he
>had dropped a cigarette on his lap. "I was looking for a place to
>park," he explained.
>
>A speeder said that he and his wife were trying to have a baby. "My
>wife is ovulating," he told the officer. "I have to get home right
>now."
>
>An officer stopped a man doing 80 mph. When he asked the driver
>whether he had seen the speed-limit signs, the man responded, "I went
>by them so fast I probably missed them."
>
>A man going south on I-95 was stopped near Washington Avenue doing 79
>mph. "My engine misses, and I'm trying to clean out the carburetor,"
>he told the officer. For good measure, he added, "If I don't go this
>fast, my car won't go at all."
>
>"I'm due in traffic court," one speeder said. "If I'm late they're
>going to enforce the bench warrant."
>
>When an officer told a speeder that the speed limit on the Schuylkill
>Expressway was 50 mph, the driver responded, "Officer, where have you
>been? It's 65 now."
>
>One speeder said simply, "I'm trying to beat my wife home. Don't
>ask."
>
>An elderly person was stopped after doing 73 mph. When told he was
>getting a ticket, he asked the officer, "Is there a senior citizen's
>discount?"
>
>*Thanks to Pastor Tim for this joke
