"License and registration, please.
Ma'am do you know how fast you were going?"

"No, Officer, I'm sorry. I don't."

"Where are you going 10 miles over the speed limit, ma'am?"


"I'm trying to make the post office before it closes."

Officer glances in the backseat at the half dozen boxes and tote bag of 2 dozen more letters. Some of the boxes are clearly marked for Marines and soldiers either with funny cartoon or moto stuff like this.

"These are going over seas?"

"Yes, sir."

"Iraq or Afghanistan?"

"Both and some to Africa."

"I see."

"You have kids there?"

"No, sir.
I'm lucky my kids are safe here. It's just to help some folks a little."

"Uh huh.
I see.
Well, Ma'am I'd like you to slow down. Can you do that?"

"Yes, sir."

"Alright then, have a nice day."

"Thank you, have a nice day yourself."

whew...
