When I was pulled over for speeding, I told the officer, "I'm sorry, but the road seemed clear, and..."(from a 2013 issue of Reader's Digest). Reposted in 2025 because we need some laughs.
"How would you have reacted if Mister Fog had suddenly appeared?" he interrupted.
Annoyed at his patronizing manner, I replied, "I suppose I would've applied Mr. Brake and summoned up Mr. and Mrs. Headlight!"
Enunciating each syllable, the officer repeated, "How would you have reacted if mist.... or... fog had suddenly appeared?"

ReplyDeleteAhahahahaha! Very like the story of the child who was asked in church what the hymn was and he responded, "Gladys the Cross-eyed Bear."
ReplyDeletelaughed until tears ran down my cheeks! thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy answer would have been "I would have applied the brakes, just the same as if a vehicle came towards me on the wrong side of the road, but probably with a better result, mist and fog having far less density"
ReplyDeletePunishing drivers for travelling outside a prescribed range of speed has always felt purely financial, 99.9% of us travel safely along a road, and most often we match other vehicles speed, voting with our right feet for the most wanted speed requirements.
I have even had my bank account partially depleted because I ran my wheels over some dried paint once.
You can see why some people want to start their own countries.
True story: I got on a plane and as I was sitting down I heard a snippet of conversation from the row behind me. "... he fellated himself ..." the voice said, and not particularly quietly either. Unable to resist eavesdropping, I heard them continue, "Yep, he caught this huge fish then he filleted it himself."
ReplyDeletePapa, what does "no bull" mean?
ReplyDeleteIt means straightforward. Not lying. But it's kind of inappropriate for kids, so maybe don't say that at school. Is that something Mom said?
No it's here in my book. "Off he raced on his noble steed.."
