So I'm really in need of cash right now, and yesterday I got my tax refund for $189. I was really excited because now I could eat next month. Well I was driving home from a meeting last night and I got in one of those situations at a traffic light where I you can either slam on your brakes, or you can speed up a bit and barely make it through. So deciding not give myself whiplash I went through the light, and all to my dismay right in front of a cop. (There were a MILLION of them out last night) So now I have to pay a $180 ticket for running a yellow. Atleast I made $9.

If that were me I would have tore my wife beater off, took a swig of budweiser for the nerves and floored it. My good old Ford pickup with bald tires can outmanuever those fancy smancy police with their helicopters any day of the week.

I got pulled over by two cops, and three more cars entered the parking lot just after I got pulled over, they left right away, but to see 5 cars within that 2 block radius was very abnormal. I could never have "gotten away"

...that was kind of the joke I was getting at. :p

How come those hillbillies never have a shirt anyway? Was their pickup going so fast that it just flew off or disintegrated? Or did they sell it to buy booze?
