A highway patrol car followed a car which had exceeded the speed limit. After putting on his lights he followed the car to a stop in a lay by.
He asked the female driver to produce her driving licence which she did. He proceeded to explain what she had been stopped for and started to write a ticket for the offence. At this she started to get belligerent and argumentative.
"Everyone knows you don't issue tickets to the pretty girls" she said.
His response was short and to the point.

"You're right!
We don't
....sign here".

Worked for me in my younger days.

Haven’t been stopped as an old lady.

Concerned.

A young cousin of mine had to go full tilt a few years ago.

I told her: “you’re far too pretty for tickets and more. Next time flirt, smile, and promise to be a good girl”.

Continuing the car puns...yep, "been there, done that" on a bench seat in an Olds F-85.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Here's a public apology to BB. I didn't take his liver post seriously (well, the thread title did lead me astray). I knew we only had one liver apiece but I have since learned that it can be divided or sliced so I have been made aware of BB's extraordinary gift. I've belatedly given his post a ❤️ and I'm giving him another ❤️ here.

If I ever need a new liver I will know where to come for a "free" slice.

I have taken to putting watch parts in my red socks before putting my walking boots on.
It ensures I have a spring in my step.
Great idea. Peg keeps tripping over rocks and roots. I won't have to keep telling her to watch her step.
You boys are having too much fun today...hilarious! You must'a felt challenged by post #737.😅

Nah. In one job I had I inherited maintenance of a program that everyone in the department used. It was complicated and for kicks I ran its code through another program that analyzed it for bad coding. It came out with a score 10 times the score to qualify for unreadable.

I added something to bypass all the bad stuff and fortunately people used that instead of the old stuff so I never had to fix a bug.

This is like a foreign language to me. I have no idea what you are saying and on about...no matter though, "all good"...although someone may know and understand, although there are only four of us now.😳

Happy Birthday, NYC! 🥳🎇🎂 That's a milestone birthday for sure. I thought turning sixty seemed old at the time, but now it sounds quite young after all...🎼If I could turn back time.🎼
If BB thinks you are catching up to him, then you are catching up to all of us on the Not...oh, that's just Rick and I that are left.

Poor Peg. Just a click of a button...no Hallmark card for her.
I'm bad. The lighted "card" was picked up at the I don't need this but maybe you do pile at the recycle bins at Gulf State Park.

I'm good. Peg got a Hallmark anniversary card. She forgot the anniversary. That happens a fair bit but it is nice that she never forgets more often than once a year.

Stagflation is a certainty. 😅
Certainly this one is inflated enough.

Because I'm holding the fort (temporarily) for this side of the Atlantic, I thought I would mention that we use the word "dear" in different ways to our cousins on the wrong side. It is majorly used as a synonym for "expensive" or "high in price".

Wow, five definitions for dear...who'd a thunk! Thanks for the English lesson.👍

Ah, Merriam-Webster located in my old hometown. I had a visit in high school. Fascinating on how they kept track of word usage. Back in the day everything went onto 3x5 cards stored in wooden cabinets. Much like how libraries kept track of their books.

Lockdown is becoming a distant memory and I miss it a little. I developed a new vocation with home schooling and taught my new Grandson to count.
I made him count the number of "ring-pulla" and bottle tops I had and made him count by the number of chocolates he put in my mouth.

I'm not surprised. For some reason I always expected you to possess great pedagogical abilities :)
