true story

[Guest guest]

Hey just wanted to share a " hhhmmmmmmm....... "

A few months ago I got a speeding ticket-76 in 55, first ticket in 20 years.

I had no good excuse, beautiful day, 4 lane highway, no other cars around,

nice smooth running car......what can I say? HEAVY FOOT!

Anyway, I went to court and sat there thru all the yada, yada, yada and lo

there was a woman who got a ticket for 48 in 25. " Well " , I thought, " this

will give me an idea of what I am in for ($$$). " So, she gave a woeful

story about driving a strange car looking for an address, being from out of

town and (yea!) the judge reduced her ticket to 40 in 25 and she paid a $$$

fine. (Can't remember how much). BTW, this woman was gorgeous and built

" fine " .

Later, when it was my turn the judge asked me why I was going to fast, I

said, " Sir, I did not realize I was going so fast. I was driving my

husband's car and did not know it would go so fast and not really feel like

it was going so fast. I also did not see the sign when the speed limit

changed from 70 to 55. I'll watch it from now on. " BLAM, guilty of reckless

driving which will be reduced only if you take a safe driving course within

30 days. KNOCK ME OVER WITH A FEATHER! Took the course and learned some

stuff and paid the fine and the cost for the course and watch my speedometer

closer, BUT, wonder what would have happened if I was gorgeous and built

" fine " ????

Soon, I too may be " painfully thin " with " Barbie's " beauty and grace...then

I'm hauling butt down the Interstate to see what happens (NOT).

Just thought I'd share-its been bothering me a little.
