[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]A police officer pulled over a speeding car. The officer said, "I clocked you at 75 miles per hour, sir." The driver says, "Gee, officer I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating." Not looking up from her knitting the wife said, "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 keep your mouth shut for once?" The wife smiles demurely and said, "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 through clenched teeth, said, "Woman, keep your mouth shut!" The officer frowns and said, "And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine." The driver replied, "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 tsk tsked, "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 writing out the third ticket, the driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP??" The officer looked over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?" (I love this next line. . . .) "Only when he's been drinking."[/FONT]
