Have you taken off on your summer vacation yet? Are you traveling more or less with these gas prices? We’re staying close to home, but we’re making a couple long weekends of things.
Our nation’s finest are out on the roads in full-force as well. Last weekend, we must have seen two dozen state troopers with cars pulled over. Heaven forbid you find yourself in this side-of-highway situation, but if you do, please keep away from the following lines.
Staci in Austin sent me this. I cried.
12 THINGS NOT TO SAY TO AN OFFICER THAT’S PULLED YOU OVER:
- I can’t reach my license unless you hold my beer.
- Sorry, Officer, I didn’t realize my radar detector wasn’t plugged in.
- Aren’t you the guy from the Village People?
- Hey, you must’ve been doin’ about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job!
- Are you Andy or Barney?
- I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.
- You’re not gonna check the trunk are you?
- I pay your salary!
- Gee, Officer! That’s terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning too!
- Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
- I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around. That’s how far ahead of me they are.
- When the Officer says “Gee Son…Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?’ You probably shouldn’t respond with, “Gee Officer your eyes looked glazed, have you been eating donuts?
Summer. Love it. On the road or otherwise, but does it feel like it’s flying by for you, too? Phew. School’s starting in only a few weeks. It’s making some smile. Some (like my teacher friends) not so much. Anything make you smile lately? Please feel free – at any time - to send me something to smile about!

And here are summertime links to keep you cool – at least figuratively.
