16. I've gotten my share of speeding tickets.

But I will tell the story of one time I didn't. I was heading home from my second job, which was at a pizzeria. I was giving a ride to my boss's girlfriend, who also worked there... and she was HOT. The police officer asked me how fast I was going, and this is how it transpired:

Me: I was going 43.

Him: In a 35.

Me: But wasn't it 40? I'd swear the speed limit was 40.

Him: It went down a little while back, and you failed to adjust for the change. Where you going in such a hurry?

Her: (tee-hee) Oh, he's just taking me home, officer!

He looked at her and handed me my license back. He said, you folks be careful.

After it was over I looked at her and said, thank you. She casually said, don't mention it.
