A motorcycle police officer stops a driver for shooting through a red light. The driver is a real jerk, steps out of his car and comes striding toward the officer, demanding to know why he is being harassed by the Gestapo!
So the officer calmly tells him of the red light violation. The motorist instantly goes on a tirade, questioning the officer's ancestry, sexual orientation, etc., in rather explicitly offensive terms.
The tirade goes on and on without the officer saying anything.
When the officer finishes writing the ticket he puts an "AH" in the lower right corner of the narrative portion of the ticket. He then hands it to The “violator” for his signature. The guy signs the ticket angrily, and when presented with his copy points to the "AH" and demands to know what it stands for.
The officer says, “That’s so when we go to court, I'll remember that you're an asshole!"
Two months later they're in court. The “violator” has a bad driving record with a high number of points and is in danger of losing his license, so he hired a lawyer to represent him. On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man run through the red light.
Under cross examination the defense attorney asks; "Officer is this a reasonable facsimile of the ticket that you issued to my client?"
Officer responds, “Yes, Sir, that is the defendant's copy, his signature and mine, same number at the top."
Lawyer: "Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this ticket you don't normally make?"
"Yes, Sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an ‘AH’, underlined."
"And … what does the ‘AH’ stand for, Officer?"
"Aggressive and hostile, Sir."
"Aggressive and hostile?"
"Yes, Sir.”
Well, Sir, you know your client better than I do.
How often can one get an attorney to convict his own client?
That sounds like my friend who did stereo repair and when he encountered particularly “aggressive and hostile” women, he would write GAUB under labor and charge $25.00. The GAUB stood for (self-censoring) “Gawd-awful ugly broad”. He says never once was he ever questioned what the charge was for.
LOL!! Funny :-)
AH- Adolf Hitler?
I used to be the salesman for a small home improvement contractor. I would add a line item I listed as JIC. It was usually 10% of the total package. No one ever asked me what JIC stood for.
Just in Case.
Nice. When I get pulled over for speeding or whatever, I have the license out, the window down and my hands on the steering wheel. I admit that I was in the wrong and say something self deprecating and funny. They check my driving record and I get a warning...
My wife’s cousin is a female MA state trooper. Every stop is an adventure. Lots of stress. The police are happy to have someone cooperating and not arguing.
Smart cop
I just lost a friend because some idiot ran a red light
Don’t be an AH and put those Iphones down!
The owner received a box of 1,000 cheap, plastic combs from one of his liquor distributors, meant to be given away to his customers. Their logo was on the combs. It was advertising.
He put a comb in the sack of each customer and charged them a $1 for the comb. He would always something like, "Here's a little gift from us to you for shopping here. Thanks." No one ever questioned him about the extra dollar he charged.
He did that until all 1,000 combs were gone. He made a $1,000 for giving away "free" combs to his customers.
That’s what you call ‘Wicked Smart’.
He should be glad someone didn’t catch him on it.
Some people don’t mind making a long check out line wait so they can slowly sift through the receipt.
I overheard a radio call one time. The dispatcher advised an individual had a bad case of HUA. The officer chuckled. I asked what “HUA” meant?
He said; “Head up ass”.
I don’t believe your little story its cute but sounds like bs to me. You telling me a guy comes in buys his pint of crappy vodka and trust me the dude knows to the penny what it costs a buck more and the dude would have called your buddy out on it big time.
Decades ago, I worked for a large finance company in Canada, that was a subsidiary of a US conglomerate, one of who’s divisions was a major contractor on the B-1 bomber. The office I worked at was in Kingston, ON. There was a large First Nations Reserve nearby in Deseronto.
I am not sure of the legalities of lending on ‘reservations’ in the US, but in Canada, it is nigh impossible to collect from someone living on a reserve.
All turned down loan applications were kept for six months, with a notation,such as ‘110’, code for ‘NO’. In the case of an application from a member of a First Nations band (US: tribe), the notation ‘FBI’ would be used. It had absolutely nothing to do with the US government agency. I’ll leave it to FReepers to decipher what it meant.
You are right... cheap vodka is bought because it`s a cheap drunk. Usually if one drinks a considerable amount of vodka before noon everyday they are dead within a year.
it tried to kill me back in the day april 6 2001 was the last time for me taka vodka 4.26 a fifth
I had a hidden 15 percent obama voter surcharge
LOL!
Yep, same here. When asked why I was driving as fast as I was (BMW 335i coupe - DUH!), my answer is I was just enjoying the day and the drive.
Sometimes a warning, sometimes a speeding ticket, but haven’t gotten a wreckless driving ticket.
That’s not “wicked smart”, that’s false pretence and fraud.
