Got killed kinda

[westcoaststrokin]

Well I was late for work today. Odd going to a Courts Martial (not mine) has never really motivated me to get going. Anyways I pull out on main road from where we live and floor board the truck. I get up to about 55 on the speedo. This is in a 45 zone. As I crest a small hill on the downhill to the highway I see a county mounty. Well crap I am busted. I don't even back out hoping that he isn't radaring me.


Well I was wrong.....

So I get lit up and pull over. Better to just deal with it and move on. As the Sheriff walks up to the truck. He spends a loooong time looking at my base sticker and the anchor above it. Well he walked up and asked his brother for the "papers".

Well I produced my "papers" for speeding.

As I am sitting there in my truck swearing at myself I catch the hint that he called me brother. Weird I think. As it turns out the Deputy that pulled me over was a retired Chief.

Needless to say when my fellow Chief walked up he let me go with a warning. There are times that I would rather be lucky than good.

Nice! That's kind of odd for a retired Chief to become a sheriff... Hmmm... oh well! Worked out for you in the end! And please---55 in a 45, pffff.... don't make me laugh! I've got tickets that would absolutely shame you. Of course... they... kind of.. shame me too... yeah.....

Pretty common around here actually.


I have gotten tickets that I am not proud of either for speed. But I haven't gotten one in 14 years and counting now.
