GOOD
A <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Madison</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">WI</st1:State></st1:place>, policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem -
a 12-year old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read
'RADAR TRAP AHEAD'.
The officer also found the boy had an accomplice who was a bit further down the road with a sign reading 'TIPS'
and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell lemonade!)
BETTER
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">La Crosse</st1:City> , <st1:State w:st="on">WI</st1:State></st1:place> . A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being a wise guy, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The
police responded with another mailed photo of
handcuffs.
BEST
A young woman was pulled over for speeding. A
Wisconsin State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, 'I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the State Trooper's Ball. He replied, 'Wisconsin State Troopers don't have balls.'
There was a moment of silence. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left
