LOL--I found some really great excuses for getting out of em. Have you guys ever used one that worked??~~Maia

Blonds get off more (No Pun Intended)
My wife -- a fairly quiet and reserved but very pretty blonde woman -- was pulled over by a Washington State Patrol office for driving 75 mph in a 55-mph zone.
When the office walked to her car and asked her why she was speeding, she told the patrolman that she was married to a police officer who had told her that as long as she was traveling with the flow of traffic she would not be pulled over and would be OK.
The patrolman, having heard all the excuses, or so he thought, told my wife that there were no other cars within a quarter-mile of her when he clocked her on the radar.
She looked at him and told him she knew that, but that the group of cars she had been traveling with got boring so she was trying to catch up with the group in front of her.
Apparently this was a new one to the patrolman, she said he giggled a little bit, told her to slow down, drive safely, and have a nice day. She says she could see him laughing and shaking his head as he walked back to his car.

Shop 'till you drop
The vehicle was packed with four ladies destined for a daylong shopping trip. I was driving and we were cruising right along when I was stopped by a police officer for speeding. I rolled down my window as he walked up beside the car and asked the inevitable question.
"Do you know how fast you were going?"
I really didn't so I answered, "No, officer, I don't. But I'm sure I was moving right along because I was just trying to keep up with my mouth."
He bent down and looked at the car full of women, laughed, and just told me to slow down. I can't believe that my quick comment worked, but it did. No ticket that day -- which meant more money for shopping!
