who was stopped by a state trooper in Wisconsin on I-94, where the speed limit is (or was) aggressively enforced. Cop pulls him over, says, "You were really flying, buddy. Lemme see your pilot's license." Guy opens his wallet, hands the trooper his pilot's license. Trooper stares at it for a minute, hands it back and says, "Get outta here!" And that was that.
