A L.A. police officer stops a driver for running a red light. The guy is a
real jerk and comes running back to the officer demanding to know why he
is being harassed by The Gestapo! Therefore, the officer calmly tells him
of the red light violation. The "Motorist" instantly goes on a tirade,
questioning the officer's ancestry, sexual orientation, etc., in rather
explicit terms. The tirade goes on without the officer saying a word.
When he completes the writing of the ticket, he puts an "AH" in the lower
right corner of the narrative portion of the ticket. He then hands it to
the "Violator" for his signature. The guy signs the ticket angrily, and when
presented with his copy--points to the "AH" and demands to know what it
stands for.
The Police Officer says, "That's so when we go to court, I'll remember that
you're an Asshole!"
Two months later, they're in court. The "Violator" has such a bad driving
record he is about to lose his license and has hired a lawyer to represent
him.
On the stand, the officer testifies to seeing the man run the red light.
Under cross-examination, the defense attorney asks; "Officer, is this a
reasonable facsimile of the ticket you issued my client?"
Officer responds, "Yes sir, that is the defendants copy, his signature and
mine, Same number at the top.
ATTORNEY: "Officer is there any particular marking or notation on this
ticket you don't normally make?"
Officer: "Yes sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an
"AH" underlined."
ATTORNEY: "What does the "AH" stand for, officer?"
Officer: "Aggressive and Hostile, Sir."
ATTORNEY: "Aggressive and Hostile?"
Officer: "Yes Sir."
ATTORNEY: "Officer, are you sure it doesn't stand for asshole?"
Officer: "Well Sir, you know your client better than I do!"
