To me, speed limits are just a suggestion. Luckily, my husband knows most of the cops so I've only gotten 1 ticket ever. But, I've been known to shed a few tears myself when pressed. ;)Susan @ SGCChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156812413651058664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086092172497469041.post-90663973909619197382008-06-24T00:34:00.000-04:002008-06-24T00:34:00.000-04:00I loved the donut tribute!

Nice tribute to the friendly policeman!<BR/><BR/>Related story... hubby got a ticket as we were headed to my In-Law's house on Mother's Day ($168). Of course we were late and I kept telling him to slow down and everything... but can you believe the policeman gave us a ticket (speeding) on MOTHER'S Day??? With a cake sitting in my lap and the whole bit. It sucked. And I'm even more of a sucker because I'm doing his online traffic school for him!!! You were lucky to be let go for a warning. I'm assuming you did the traffic school thing for your previous ticket?RecipeGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03387369904765600870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086092172497469041.post-83112769239754897772008-06-20T19:43:00.000-04:002008-06-20T19:43:00.000-04:00Aw. :( Well good that he was so nice to you though...Aw. :( Well good that he was so nice to you though!

To deter speeders in a small town in Colorado, they have a police car with a police dummy in the front seat. A box of dunkin donuts on the dashboard to make it real.

I bet that donut helped put a smile back on your face, though. Yummy! Donuts have got to be one of my top 5 fav comfort foods. I think it's hilarious how you photographed the donut while you were eating it - too cute, fits the story perfectly :D.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559812909261351894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086092172497469041.post-50657933064470767102008-06-19T13:19:00.000-04:002008-06-19T13:19:00.000-04:00Doncha just hate it when you are reduced to tears ...Doncha just hate it when you are reduced to tears like that? As far as the ticket goes, a cop scared the heck out of me with one of those radar guns once, and when he got to my car without thinking I yelled that I thought he was going to shoot me.
