Lifetime achievement today: charmed my way out of a ticket for doing 92 in a 55 zone
Absolutely true story. Somewhere between Douglas AZ and Lordsburg NM on US 80, possibly the most desolate stretch of highway in the US. I won’t be more specific because I don’t want him or me to get into trouble
Cop: good afternoon. Do you know why I stopped you?
Me: uh I have a pretty good idea
Cop: I clocked you at 92, it took me 5 miles to catch you
Me: eeeyipes
Cop: license & registration pls
Me: okie dokes

Cop: <looks at TX DL> do you know that anything more than 20 over is a criminal offense, and you’ll have to come back here and face a judge within 2 weeks?
Me: Officer, do I look like a criminal? <pause> Don’t answer that
Me: Officer, do I look like a criminal? <pause> Don’t answer that
Cop: <chuckle> Okay I’m gonna do you a really really big favor and let you off with a warning
Wife: Don’t worry officer, I’ll see to it that he gets punished
Me: <shhhhhrrrugggg>

Thank you, Officer Anonymous, I will name my next child after you.
