Sounds like my favorite Unka is having the same week I am. So far, I got 
two speeding tickets this week. Both on my way to work in the morning. :( 
First one... 66 mph in a 55 zone. Bite me. Fine, thats the law, I 
deserved it... second one...81 in a 55 zone. Blow me. They were sneaky 
bastards, Im going along in my 20V and there is a cop about 15 cars in 
front of me, and one right behind me. I look down, my cruise is set to 
65. Suddenly they BOTH put on their lights at the same time and pulled 
over everyone in between them. Show time.
He asks..."You know how fast you were going?" I said "Yup". He's still 
looking at me, like Im going to argue with him... You know you cant argue 
with them, you have to have intelligence and a penis to hold a 
conversation, and they have neither...
So he walks away... 7 hours later (or so it seems) he comes back with a 
ticket. He said "I clocked you doing 81 mph in a 55 zone, the fine is 
$279, you can pay by mail" He looks at me waiting for me to say 
something.. so I said "Great!! Thanks!" And left. I think that torqued 
him off more.

Why didnt I argue? My wife works for the State Police, they are both 
already 'taken care of'  :)

If anyone on the list is a cop...oh forget it...Im not going to apologize!

Bob
