It happened to me...

If you know me you know that I have kind of a lead foot. From 1995-1997 I received enough speeding tickets to get me one point away from having a problem with my drivers licence. I mean, I was attending school in Eastern Idaho my family lived in Western Idaho- between was just desert. After driving it once, you've seen it enough. Anyway, after being married for almost fourteen years there have been ups and downs with my donation to the police quota fund. But there was this one time...

I was driving on the highway from Interstate 84 to Twin Falls and the speed limit is 60 MPH. I thought I was going that speed, but apparently I was not. I was pulled over just before crossing the Perrine Bridge into Twin Falls. I guess I should also explain, that I was talking to my wife the entire time. I didn't have time to hang up and once the office had left me with my ticket to the policeman's ball (wait, policeman don't have balls. They have galas!) Tammy asked me, "What was that?". even though she had just listened to the entire conversation.

Here is my word of warning: If you get pulled over TURN OFF THE PHONE!
