After my police connection a few months ago that dented a big hole in my bank balance I’ve really kept an eye on speed signs and my speedometer vowing never to be caught again.   So I’m wondering if the couple mentioned below would need a bank loan or marriage counselling after this connection with a police officer ??

The Tale of The Police Officer and The Driver’s Wife

A police officer pulls over a speeding car.

The officer says, ‘ I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir.’

The driver says,
‘Officer I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating.’

Not looking up from her knitting the 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 demurely and says,
‘You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did.’

As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth,
‘Woman, why can’t you keep your mouth shut?’

The officer frowns and says,
‘And I notice that you’re not wearing your seat belt, sir. That’s an automatic 75 dollar 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 licence out of my back pocket.’

The wife then said,
‘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.’

So as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks,
‘WHY don’t you just shut your flaming mouth up ??’

The officer looks over at the woman and asks,
‘Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma’am?’

‘No officer’ she replied,

Only when he’s pissed!!!
