So there was this female business executive who was late for a meeting.
She is going 65 on a street where the speed limit is 40.
A cop pulls her over and says “ma’am, can I please see your license?”
She says “I’m sorry, officer, but I got it revoked two years ago for drunk driving.”
His brow furrows and he straightens up. “Well, can I please see the registration of your car?”
She says “I stole the car and I killed the driver; he’s in the trunk.”
“Ma’am, DON’T MOVE, I’m calling for backup.”
He mutters furiously into his walkie-talkie…
Five minutes later, half the squad pulls up, the Chief of Police walks over to the woman’s window.
“Ma’am, can I see your license?” he asks sternly.
“Of course, officer,” she smiles demurely and pulls out a license from her purse.
He squints warily at it. “This looks legitimate,” he mumbles.
“Can I see the registration to this car?”
She pulls it out of the glove compartment and hands it to him.
“Ma’am, stand back!”
He bangs open the trunk of the car and flinches: but it was completely empty…
The woman brandishes a finger at the first cop and says accusingly, “And I’ll bet that liar told you I was speeding too!!”
I signed on in 2004 - have no idea when the ‘views’ were stopped. It may have been ‘band width’ ?????
Maybe we should start a thread to bring it back! LOL!!!
Worked for a rent-a-rig oil company in the ‘80s. The old hands said that if you are ever sent to Nigeria, bring lots of cheap Timex watches with you. Same log-across-the-road deal, only with watches.
The guys said they had expanding bands on the watches so they could load up their forearms and biceps with ‘em. They all wore long sleeve shirts, even in hot weather, and nobody at the roadblocks thought to tell them to roll up their sleeves.
