Another one for the Easily Amused....
I was driving in Oregon with a couple of other company trucks - all doing 55 because we all know how Oregon State Police are about such things!! - and chatting...
Here I am - the only female voice on the radio for quite a few miles (for those who are curious, my handle was "Munchkin") and we notice a State Trooper coming along side of us... looking in each truck....
Wouldn't you know it? He pulls ME over...
Sigh. Well, I get my paperwork together and he comes up the side of the truck and tells me I was doing 56 in a 55 zone (No kidding! Really? That fast, huh?) And to step out of the truck. He did a paperwork inspection, a truck inspection and finally, after about 40 minutes of stalling, he lets me go with a parting quip,"Oregon Cares about your safety."
I hear a loud THUD from the back of the truck (my codriver in the bunk) who is HOWLING with laughter.... and said between gasps,
"What did you do, SMILE at him?"
Well, yes.
