A man driving a car was stopped by a
police officer and the following exchange took place....
The man asked, "What's the problem
officer?"
“You were going at least 75 in a 55
zone,” replied the officer.
“No sir, I was going 62 maximum,” the
man declared.
“Oh, Harry,” said the man’s wife, “You
were going at least 80.”
The man gave his wife a dirty look.
“I'm also going to give you a ticket for
a broken tail light,” aid the officer.
“Broken tail light?” said the man, “I
didn't know about a broken tail light!”
“Oh Harry,” said the wife, “you've known
about that tail light for weeks.”
The man gave his wife a dirty look.
“And, I'm also going to give you a
citation for not wearing your seat belt,” continued the cop.
“But officer,” protested the driver, “I
just took it off while you were walking up to the car.”
“Oh, Harry,” said the wife, “you never
wear your seat belt.”
Whereupon, the man turned to his wife
and yelled, “Helen, why don’t you just shut your damn mouth?"
The officer turned to the woman and
asked, "ma'am, does your husband usually talk to you this way?"
"Oh no,” said the wife, “only when
he's drunk."
