My buddy: Well, probably because I've had too much to drink.
That is the dumbest response I have ever heard.
Mama never told him "don't volunteer information" huh

he's a military guy, so I wonder if that had something to do with it- ya know, respect for authority and whatnot.
We were lucky to get out of that one fo' shizzle.
Luckily for us, we both live within walking distance of the bars on the strip now, so no driving is to be had. of course, that means that we have taken an economic hit since we can go out more often with less consequences.
But my neighborhood is getting scary... two of my friends got robbed at gunpoint walking back to thier place after the super bowl, and then a day later some guy gets shot in the back a block away.
Scary.

Heh, I've actually used that one.
Officer: Do you know how fast you were going?
TD: No sir, the speedometer only registers 85.
This was after I topped a hill at est. low 100's and saw the THP sitting there. I just pulled in right behind him. He walked up and asked why I had pulled over, if there was a problem. I said, No sir, no problem I just figured you'd probably be wanting to talk to me so I figured I'd save you the trouble of having to pull me over.
He laughed, ran my license, told me to slow it down, and let me go.

For you kiddies out there, a lot of respect and a sense of humor will get you a long ways with most law enforcement officials.

driving from montana to targhee last year
raging snowstorm and I have been on the plane all day
I'm driving a 4 wd subaru I rented in Bozeman
we are blazin one.....
somewhere about 20 miles north of Driggs Idaho....some small town
I go stormin through this town......didn't see the 25 mph speed limit.....I'm going 45.......drive about 5 miles out of town to where I take a right to Driggs.....
and I finally see the blue lights.....hes way back......but closing
I take the right and pull over about 100 yards down the road on the shoulder.....
all Hay breaks loose in the car....I'm rollin down all the windows.....
hes still comin....he finally makes the right....
I got my liscense and reg for the rental in hand and both are out the window in plain view....
I'm sweatin....
he gets out and takes what feels like an eternity to get up to where I could see him.......
Hes wearing jeans and a sherrifs base ball cap.......
I have a plan......
He says......" Do you know why I pulled you......"
and I don't know why I said this.....
but I just blurted out
"I'm from North Carolina and I'm lost as h e ll........."
he got silent for about 15 seconds ....then he started smiling and asked where I was going.....so I told him " Grand Targhee"
then he said..... " license and reg please......."
and then he walked back to his car....
he came back about 10 minutes later and explained to me that I had been speedin 49 in a 25 and handed me a warning ticket and hand written directions.....
then He said....." It's supposed to keep snowing......I'm going up myself on Sunday......leave some fresh for me....." then his final words were and then I knew he was really cool....
"Ya'll be careful...."

My personal pet peeve when I worked the road and cared about such things:
"Do you know who I am?"
That was usually followed by, "No ma'am/sir and it really has no relevence to the matter at hand. Sign here and press hard, you're making four copies."

Yeah that approach is lame. What approach works the best (for, uh, purely entertainment purposes)?
