Subject: The Wife
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 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, "Darn it,
woman, 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 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 writing out the third ticket the driver
turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU PLEASE SHUT UP??" The
officer looks
over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to you this
way,
Ma'am?"
" Only when he's been drinking."
