"Hello, sir. I'm Officer David Bricman with the Bourbon City Police Department. The reason I stopped you was because you were driving at 86 miles per hour in a posted 70 miles per hour zone"

Feigned suprise. "I was?"

"Yes, is there a reason you were driving so fast?"

"Well, I was singing. I guess I stopped paying attention to how fast I was driving."

"Singing? What were you singing?"

"'I'll Cover You.'"

Quizical brow.

"It's a showtune."

"Ah. Well, sir, this two mile stretch of I-44 in Missouri has had more deaths on it in the last two years than any other highway..."

Begin the half hour lecture about the statistics, causes and effects of accidents on this stretch of road, and pointing out the cemetery a quarter mile up the road that I can't see because it's 10:00p.m.

Finally it ends.

"Here you go, sir." He hands me a $130 ticket. :Be carefull, and have a good night."

"Thanks."
