GOOD
A Madison, WI, 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 La Crosse, WI . 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.
