SPEEDING TICKET
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 (1) and says “ma’am, can I please see your
license ?”

She says “I’m sorry, officer, but I got it revoked(2) two years ago for drunk driving.”
His brow furrows (3) 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, (4) I’m calling for backup.” (5)




“Of course, officer,” she smiles demurely (9) and pulls out a license from her purse.
He squints (10) warily (11) at it. “This looks legitimate,” he mumbles (12).

“Can I see the registration to this car?”
She pulls it out of the glove compartment (13) and hands it to him.
“Ma’am, stand back!”
He bangs open the trunk of the car and flinches (14): but it was completely empty…

The woman brandishes (15)a finger at the first cop and says accusingly, “And I’ll bet that liar told you I was speeding too!!”
