Speeding tickets, tell us about yours. I'll go first.

13. Stopped by an Arkansas State Trooper

Many decades ago, I was driving down the Jacksonville (Arkansas) Freeway on my way to work when I saw the blue lights in my rearview mirror. I pulled over, wondering what I'd done. Didn't think I'd been speeding or anything. Anyhow, this older Trooper got out of his unit and I had my license and registration and all that handy when he arrived - and he never looked at them. He stood there for the better part of ten minutes telling me what chickenshits (his phrase) the new grads from the police academy were. Then he said, "I just wanted you to know that", got back in his car, and left. I have been scratching my head over it ever since.
