Joke: Speeding

Tweet

A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, "I clocked you at 80 miles per hour sir." The driver says, "Gee, officer, I had my car on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating." Not looking up from her knitting, the driver's wife says: "Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control." As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, "Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once?" The wife smiles & says, "You should be thankful that your radar detector went off when it did." So the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit. The driver glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, "Woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?" The officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're not wearing you're seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine." The driver says, "Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket." The wife says, "Now dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving." And as the police officer is writting out the third ticket, the driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP???" The officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?" The wife answers, "Only when he's been drinking, officer."
