How to get a cop to let you off the hook????

One late night at college I got a phone call from my husband “Best Friend” He tells me that he is @ his friends house and he has been there all day and that he has not had anything to eat all day. My husband asked me to please save him and pick him up. So being his wife I said ok love I am closing up now and I will get their as fast as I can. I told my professor that I needed to go she said no worries there was only 20 minutes left in class. So I grabbed my things jumped in my car. Now my college was in Anaheim and he was in Riverside (45 minute drive with out traffic). So with traffic being so horrible during the holidays I did the unthinkable. I jumped in the car pool lane. As I drove I kept looking over my shoulder for cops but nothing so I kept going. As I got into corona I was like SCORE I’m in the home stretch! As I was 3 exits away from my husband I noticed a motorcycle cop approaching. I tried to get out but it was too late. He passed me up and I was like “Damn Almost”. I got out of the car pool lane and was exiting the freeway when I saw the lights behind me. For some odd reason I didn’t panic like I usually do. So I pull over on the off ramp and roll down my passenger window. The cop comes over and the usual “License and Registration Please?”

Now you all know that I don’t think before I speak so I asked *nicely* as I was digging in my glove box “Excuse me sir? But why did you pull me over?” He smirked and said are you serious? I smiled and was like yeah! He said well miss you were in the car pool lane and you are the only person in the car…. *I smirked* I said “hmmmm Well I weigh enough for two people does that count? *mumbled but didn’t think he could hear* I mean if I was on a air plane I would have to pay for 2 seats for comfort? What makes this any different?” as I handed him my license and registration I looked at him and he looked constipated… But he bared his head in between his legs and died of laughter! As I was holding mine in best as I could. I didn’t think he was going to take it as well as he did but as he finally composed himself he handed me back my paperwork and said “Miss you are lucky I’m in a good mood tonight. Happy Holidays and don’t let me catch you in riverside ever again!”

Classic story!That's how you use what you were blessed with to your advantage.I was just talking about that with a couple people.We have so many things that we take for granted and don't use to their full potential (race, gender, education, weight, ect).I'm glad to see you did!

@Tais: So very true..... Never saw it that way but the words you speak are very true! I was expecting people to say "You shouldn't put yourself down that way!" But in reality this was a very funny experience in my life. Then again I have plenty to say about my past but never thought people would be interested in reading! Same goes for that Ice Cream Blog ;)
