Subject: Only in Texas
GOOD : In Richardson , Texas State Trooper was running radar.
He had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but
wasn't getting any. Then he discovered the problem.
A 12 year-old boy was standing up the road with a
hand painted sign, which read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD!"
The officer later found a young accomplice down the
road with a sign reading, "TIPS" and a bucket full
of money. (And we used to just sell lemonade!)
BETTER : A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding
through an automated radar post in Plano , Texas . A $40 speeding
ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a
picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo
of handcuffs.
BEST : A young woman was pulled over in Austin ,
Texas for speeding. As the TX State Trooper walked
to her car window, flipping open his ticket book,
she said, "I bet you are going to sell me a ticket
to the Texas State Police Ball." He replied, " Texas State
Troopers don't have balls." There was a moment of silence while
she smiled and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his
book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too
hard to start her car.
